Middle East Crises Causes Backstreet Boys To Cancel Concert

The Backstreet Boys have canceled concerts in Tel Aviv, Israel for fear of their lives!The

band claims their July 29-31 shows have been kicked from their schedule in the wake of the escalating conflict in the Middle East. However, they're optimistically trying to re-book for next year.

Backstreet says, "This is a major disappointment for the band and fans as this was to be our first visit to Israel and we looked forward to meeting our fans."

The band isn't the only one who has dumped plans of a showdown in that region. They follow in the footsteps of Neil Young & Crazy Horse and Paul Anka ... who also cancelled their concerts thanks to the trouble in that zone.

Do you think they made the right decision?
