Deep Purple, Promoter Decide To Call Off Lebanese Date By Newsferatu, Writer Sunday, July 23, 2006 @ 7:02 PM
Deep Purple hung on to the last minute before canceling its appearance at
Baalbeck, Lebanon, only pulling out when the Israeli bomb and missile barrage
spread to that city.
"The band and the festival have agreed it's best not to go," The band's
booking agent, Agency Group chief Neil Warnock, told Pollstar after Liza Minnelli
and Lebanese diva Fairouz canceled their summer shows.
A day earlier (July 17), the band put out a statement saying the rockers
were determined to go through with the trip, but that was before violence spread
to the Baalbec area.
The act was due to play the annual Baalbeck International Festival, which
runs through July and August, as part of its two-year world tour to support its
Rapture of The Deep album. Newswires suggest the date will be rescheduled.
