Dear Tiesto,

Nietzsche once said that life without music would be a mistake. The greater mistake against humanity would be to deny one the ability to express themselves in music, in poetry, in dance, in literature, in pleasure and in love.

[BBC News] 6 June 2010 - Influential US rock group Pixies have cancelled their first performance in Israel, blaming "events beyond our control".

 

The group did not specify why they were pulling out of the show, which was due to take place in Tel Aviv on 9 June.
