Singer Sia made an emotional appearance at an Anti-Defamation League (ADL) event in Washington, where she dedicated a moving performance of her hit song "Titanium" to survivors of the October 7 Nova festival attack.
The star-studded event was hosted by Jewish-American actor Ben Stiller and featured performances by the National Philharmonic Orchestra of the United States, Israeli Eurovision artist Eden Golan, and producer Scooter Braun.
Sia, who last performed in Israel in 2016 and had not publicly commented on the war, declared, "We will dance again," before taking the stage. Survivors of the Nova festival joined her onstage afterward, further deepening the emotional impact of the tribute.
Israeli artist Eden Golan delivered a heartfelt rendition of her song "October Rain," the original version of "Hurricane," the track she performed at Eurovision. Golan’s lyrics, initially altered for being deemed politically charged, were restored for this special performance.
Introducing her, Stiller praised her resilience, noting, "Eden represented Israel even though she was booed. Since then, she has been performing 'October Rain' for many."
Backstage after the event, Sia met with Eden, complimenting her performance and expressing admiration for her artistry.
