On Saturday (July 5th) at the star-studded event “Back to the Beginning: Ozzy’s Final Bow,” Disturbed singer David Draiman was met with boos from a portion of the crowd.
The incident occurred during an all-star jam that consisted of Draiman, Jake E. Lee (Ozzy Osbourne), David Ellefson (Megadeth), Mike Bordin (Faith No More), Adam Wakeman (Ozzy Osbourne), Scott Ian (Anthrax), Nuno Bettencourt (Extreme), and others. Fronting the temporary supergroup, Draiman led these musicians in a cover of Ozzy’s “Shot in the Dark” and Black Sabbath’s “Sweet Leaf.”
While it has not been confirmed, it seems Draiman may have been booed because he is an outspoken supporter of Israel.
The Disturbed frontman has been extremely vocal on social media about his stance on the conflict between Israel and Palestine, drawing much criticism from fans.
According to a Twitter/X user present at “Back to the Beginning,” Draiman responded to the boos by asking the crowd: “We gonna start this!?”
