Allegedly mr Williams is an Isreal supporter, I guess they took that from him doing a show over there at some point, so there were security issues of pro Palestinian extremists trying to sabotage the show, anyhow – something along those lines.

Besides the Israel-related discussions, turkish authorities are canceling these kind of things just because they strangely don’t want people get fun. That’s why everyone is unhappy

Absolutely 100% speculating here but his wife is half Turkish, with her Turkish roots being from Istanbul. He has never had a concert in Turkey before and now this one is cancelled. He’s been “just around the corner” from Istanbul quite often in his tours – Greece and Bulgaria for example, would really be logistically easy to squeeze in an Istanbul concert. So that all is a bit strange.
Now for the speculating part; his wife or his wife’s family may have been labeled anti-Erdogan? They’re Jews so that might be enough in the current political climate to make Williams undesirable in Turkey anyway.
