For the record I'm doing the best I can and my intentions are better than most peoples that I know (sic).
Lana Del Rey will performning in Israel and she has been highly critcised for it, reports JustJared.com.
But the 33-year-old singer issued a statemnet saying that her decision to perform in Israel is not a politically motivated one, “I understand many of u are upset that we’re going to Tel Aviv for the Meteor festival… what I can tell you is I believe music is universal and should be used to bring us together.
I would like to remind you that performing in Tel Aviv is not a political statement or a commitment to the politics there just as singing here in California doesn’t mean my views are in alignment w my current governments opinions or sometimes inhuman actions (sic)”
She added, “I’m a simple singer, i’m doing my best to navigate the waters of the constant tumultous hardships in the war-torn countries all over the world that I travel through monthly. For the record I’m doing the best I can and my intentions are better than most peoples that I know (sic).”
