Teen pop star Justin Bieber will perform a concert in Tel Aviv.
Bieber, who recently swept the American Music Awards — winning artist of the year, favorite pop/rock album, breakthrough artist and favorite male pop artist — will perform April 14 in Yarkon Park, Yediot Achronot reported.
The concert, part of Bieber’s My World tour, was booked following negotiations with seven Israeli producers. Producer Marcel Avraham, who brought Elton John, Rod Stewart, Metallica and Leonard Cohen to Israel, has been chosen to handle the concert, the newspaper reported.
Some 60,000 fans are expected to attend the Canadian teen idol’s concert. The cost to produce the show has been placed at more than $1.5 million.
Two Facebook pages called “Justin Bieber Fans in Israel” (one in all lower-case letters) had 13,700 combined fans as of Dec. 8. — jta
