There is a rumor going around that SLASH is going to Israel to perform in a concert in honor of the Peres Center for Peace's 10th anniversary on October 27. SLASH says that is not true; he is definitely not going. The rumor may have started because Liel Kolet will be there. She is a native Israeli, and a wonderful singer. SLASH played acoustic guitar on the song "For the Love of God" on her forthcoming (November) album Save Yourself.
