Lebanese Audience Booed When Gorillaz Mentioned Syria

July 22, 2010 · Mustapha Hamoui

Lebanese blogger Liliane was there:

When the nice lead member of Gorillaz mentioned that they’re very happy to be performing in Lebanon, everyone WOOOOOOed… then immediately afterwords he said and happy to perform in Syria as well (trying to convey how happy they are that the Gorillaz are in the Middle East for the first time), people BOOOOOOed…. I was really really really ashamed. And to think the name of the song is White Flag, how ironic.

Ironic Indeed
