during his concert in , leaving some gig-goers outraged. The artist took to Forest Hills Stadium on Tuesday night for his fourth consecutive sold-out show during his tour for new album Unreal Earth. While many artists have shied away from using their fame to speak out on the ongoing , Hozier has shown his support of those facing violence overseas.
from the majority of the audience, some fans were left fuming over his words - enough to leave halfway through the show. During the introduction to his hit song Nina Cried Power, Hozier said: "And we wouldn't want to see anybody subjected to the kind of violence that and indiscriminate bombing that we are seeing on our TV screens. The kind of assault in Rafah's face and the genocide and violence.
And in that same way that people are showing up at the moment saying we would want to be represented to our democratic representation - we want to be represented in that compassion, and in that human witness and in that law." He continued: "And we wouldn't want to see us, our tax dollars, enabling that kind of violence - enabling that kind of war. We wouldn't want to see that for anybody, it doesn't matter where you come from.
Whether you are a Palestinian or you are an Israeli citizen - for anybody we want peace and safety." And while it seemed that the 34-year-old artist was just rallying for peace for all - some concert-goers felt that he was negatively targeting the citizens of Israel. One fan in attendance felt so strongly against Hozi.
