Thrash metal band Megadeth and hip hop star CeeLo Green joined a growing list of entertainers on Tuesday whose scheduled concerts in Israel have been cancelled amid the Gaza crisis.
Los Angeles-based Megadeth was due to play in Tel Aviv on Wednesday, but on its website the group said it wasnt able to secure a guarantee that it could make it.
The band was looking forward to this concert and is disappointed they will not be able to put on the show for their fans, but expects to return to Tel Aviv on their next international tour, it said.

So CeeLo Green wrote to Israel, “Oh I really hate yo’ ass now!”
Actually, Megadeth’s Dave Mustaine is very conservative and the bassist, David Ellefson runs a christian outreach group.
Mustaine’s mother was a German born Jew who came to America in the early 30s with her family.
I've been a Megadeth fan most of my adult life and I'm now 51. You won't find a more conservative metal band (i.e. "United Abominations", their 14th release) I recently saw them in Raleigh. Mr Dave briefly interrupted the concert for a minute to say his peace about the current situation, and then respectfully continued the show.
I may not care for someone else's preferred music, but can't see any reason or gain in posting negative comments about the music or musicians. FReegards. d:^)
Mustaine has stirred things up a few times for expressing conservative ideals. He had a big fight with Rob Halford of Judas Priest for saying that gay marriage is wrong. Bands have been kicked off tours with Megadeth for being openly anti Christian.
Liberals are still whining about him looking for a home outside California and its taxation. Looked like he was heading for Texas but I see he’s been talking Tennessee a lot lately.
