The 68 year old former teen idol, Paul Anka will be performing in Israel this summer. According to Ynet: “Sources in the music industry told Yedioth Ahronoth that Anka, 68, will hold at least one concert at Tel Aviv’s Mann Auditorium in August.

The Canadian-born singer first became famous in the late 1950s and 1960s with hits songs like “Diana”, “Lonely Boy”, and “Put Your Head on My Shoulder”. By the late 1960s he had sold over 100 million records.”

Whenever stars come to Israel it’s big news. It means that they aren’t scared off by the threat of terrorism or an Arab boycott.

Way to go Lonely Boy!

The economic slowdown has taken its toll on the amount of travelers from Tel-Aviv to London, and as a result British Airways is lowering fares about 10%. For the slumping airline industry that has had to weather high fuel prices, the overhanging threat of terrorism resulting from 9-11, the current slowdown is another in a long line of events that have brought the industry to its knees.

For travelers, the round of price cutting is welcome. Deals abound, and smart consumers can find great deals. According to Globes: “In addition, the airline is offering overnight stays in hotels at Heathrow Airport for most long distance flights that are not scheduled to take off until the following day.”

Bon Voyage!
