MULTI-million selling rock band Counting Crows are heading out on a major world tour for new album Butter Miracle, The Complete Sweets!

But there is one country missing from the list, much to lead singer Adam Duritz’s disappointment - Israel.

Counting Crows performed for the first and only time in Israel in 2022, playing the Ra’anana amphitheatre.

“I had been to Israel before,” Adam said.

“I went there when I was 16 and again when I was 18, in 1980 and 1982.

“Israel was a big part of my childhood. I really loved the place. It’s pretty important to me.”

He added: “I would love to play there again. I loved it. Ra’anana was a fantastic place to play. The band loved the trip there.”
