During his massive performance at Bloomfield Stadium, Eyal Golan paused the run of songs for a moment of remembrance and tribute to the late great Israeli singer Ishay Levi, who died this week. Golan addressed the emotional crowd and asked them to honor Levi’s memory with thunderous applause. Levi’s image appeared on the giant screens, and Golan performed the song "Ha'Achat Sheli" as a special tribute.

Bloomfield Stadium shook on Thursday night, but this time not only from the rhythm, but from deep emotion, as singer Eyal Golan stopped his massive show for a chilling moment of remembrance. Golan dedicated long minutes to the memory of his close friend and someone he described as one of his greatest sources of inspiration, the late great Israeli singer Ishay Levi, who died earlier this week.

Golan turned to the fans, visibly emotional, and said: "This week, Ishay Levi passed away, one of the greatest singers in Israel. I grew up on Ishay's music."

He then asked the thousands in the stadium to honor his memory: "Before I do a small tribute, I want all of us to simply raise our hands and applaud Ishay Levi."
