The Pixies Cancel Concert in Israel
-----------------------------------



The legendary alternative rock group the Pixies have become the latest
artists to cancel a scheduled performance in Israel following boycott
calls. Concert organizers say the cancellation was linked to the Israeli
assault on the Free Gaza flotilla. The move came days after the British
group Gorillaz also canceled an upcoming concert in Israel. Other
artists to cancel Israel performances in recent months include Elvis
Costello, Carlos Santana and Gil Scott-Heron.
