In the midst of show cancellations by other artists, boycotts from Israeli conservatives, and political rallies, Elton John safely arrived in Tel Aviv and successfully held a one-night concert in the city on Thursday night.

To quote local station Channel One, John was the “single righteous artist in a sea of boycotters”.

Several other artists have cancelled their scheduled performances in the city including UK acts Elvis Costello, Klaxons and Gorillaz, which is a side project by Blur front man Damon Albarn. The Pixies and legendary guitarist Carlos Santana have also canceled their gigs in Israel due to increased tension between Israelis and Palestinians and also because of the recent naval raid.

The naval raid happened on May 31, where a foreign flotilla was hijacked and killed nine Israeli activists. This caused many foreign music acts who were scheduled to perform within that week to abruptly pull back from their gigs.

Now here’s a tandem you won’t see everyday, or maybe ever again after this – conservative radio man Rush Limbaugh who hired the services of liberal and gay activist, philanthropist and performer Sir Elton John to sing at his 4th wedding to socialite Kathryn Rogers.

John was purportedly paid a million dollars to sing till the break of dawn at the wedding with about 400 attendees on Saturday night at the Ponce de Leon ballroom of the Breakers Hotel in Palm Beach, Florida.

Among the 400 attendees of the Limbaugh-Rogers nuptials were mostly political figures like former NYC Mayor Rudolph Giuliani, former Bush aide Karl Rove, former Clinton aide James Carville and wife, GOP’s Mary Matalin, Supreme Court Judge Clarence Thomas, Fox News’ Sean Hannity and sports fixtures like Kansas City Royals’ George Brett, Bob Kraft who owns the New England Patriots and professional golfer Tom Watson.

The newlyweds are reportedly to spend their honeymoon in tourist spots like Mexico and Africa aboard Limbaugh’s private jet.

Limbaugh and Rogers met at a charity golf event that Rogers organized six years ago while Limbaugh was busy settling a divorce, for the third time. Rogers is born with a political blood as President John Adams is her direct ancestor. Her father is also said to have close ties with former Republican Presidential candidate and soon-to-be Arizona Senator John McCain, since both men attended the US Naval Academy during their time.

When Rogers was asked about her opinion of her and her husband’s 26-year difference, she said,”I’m sometimes not able to relate to the average person my age.” Limbaugh is 59 years old while Rogers is 33.
