Turkish authorities have cancelled Robbie Williams’ live efficiency scheduled for October 7 in Istanbul, citing “security concerns” amid rising tensions surrounding the Gaza war anniversary.

The repeat became once direct to occur on the anniversary of the Hamas-led assaults on Israel, which introduced about the ongoing Gaza battle and sparked global protests.

In line with a source from the Istanbul governor’s place of job, the dedication became once made “in the pursuits of public security” after several groups called for demonstrations against the British pop star’s efficiency.

“Metropolis authorities have cancelled the repeat, in the pursuits of public security,” Williams shared on his Instagram story.
“The last suppose I could ever need to enact is jeopardise the protection of my fans, their security and security reach first.”

The organising company confirmed the cancellation, noting that ticket refunds would be processed by the acquisition platform.

Williams, 51, whose wife is Jewish, has previously executed in Israel in 2015 and 2023 despite calls from pro-Palestinian activists urging him to boycott the nation.

The deliberate live efficiency had drawn backlash from Turkish NGOs and activist groups, including the Islamic Solidarity Platform, which announced plans to stutter below the slogan, “Zionist Robbie Williams, procure out of Turkey!”
