The peace concerts scheduled to take place in Tel Aviv and Jericho have been postponed. Threats have been made against Palestinians supporting the events, and there were security concerns in Jericho (which included threats to blow up the West Bank office of One Voice, the organization sponsoring the concerts). Bryan Adams was to headline the concerts.
The purpose of the concerts was to help collect a million signatures from Israelis and Palestinians calling for their leaders to negotiate a final peace settlement by October 2008.
No announcement has been made as to when the concerts may be rescheduled.

Bryan Adams will headline concerts in the West Bank and Israel next week. His performances will be relayed by satellite to London, Ottawa, and Washington.
The concerts are being put on by the One Voice peace movement. The group says the concerts are to help bolster their campaign to collect one million signatures from Israelis and Palestinians to demand that their leaders sit down and finalize an agreement on a Palestinian state. As of last month, One Voice said it had just over half a million signatures, which were split about equally between Israelis and Palestinians. They hope to reach the one million mark by the end of the year.
There is no cost to concertgoers for the October 18 concerts; however, they must sign the One Voice petition to gain entrance.
