The Rolling Stones will perform their first-ever Israel concert, it has been confirmed.
Representatives said on Tuesday that the band would go ahead with its performance in Tel Aviv this summer as planned.
The Stones were reportedly offered £4.5 million to play the open-air concert in Park Hayarkon on June 4 – the largest sum ever offered for a music act to play in the country.
The announcement comes less than a week after the band cancelled seven shows in Australia and New Zealand. The ’14 on Fire’ tour shows were called off in the wake of the suicide of fashion designer L’Wren Scott – the long-term girlfriend of singer Mick Jagger.
