Two of Matisyahu ‘s recent concerts got canceled … and he’s theorizing the cancelations might’ve been caused by some workers making a political statement against Israel.
The singer-songwriter joined us on “TMZ Live” Thursday … telling us his sold-out show in New Mexico was canceled just hours before the curtain was set to go up — something he learned about very last minute.
As Matisyahu — a very vocal supporter of the Israeli cause in Gaza — explained it … a fan approached him after he’d already performed a sound check in the Meow Wolf venue and said they had received an email saying the concert was called off because of security threats.
When his team approached the event organizers about it, Matisyahu says they told him workers were afraid to come to work because of possible protests outside the building and that they wouldn’t have time to hire more staffers for the event.
BTW … the protest didn’t exactly take off — with just about five people showing up, apparently, to voice their displeasure according to Matis. So, hardly a threat, really.
