Nick Cave, the Australian rock star, has accused the anti-Israel boycott movement of “censoring and silencing” musicians as he prepares to play the second of two sold-out shows in the country.
In a press conference on Sunday, the Bad Seeds frontman spoke of the pressure on musicians from the international boycott, divestment and sanctions (BDS) movement.
He said that record producer Brian Eno approached him three years ago to sign a boycott list, which he refused to do.
He said: “On a very intuitive level I did not want to sign that list, there was something that stunk to me about that list.
