Elton John will headline the next Life Festival Oswiecim.

He will perform in the city of former Nazi death camp, Auschwitz-Birkenau, at the festival in June, the festival announces on Thursday.

“Like everyone, I am shocked by the recent terrorist attacks in Paris and elsewhere.

In June, in Oswiecim, we’ll be celebrating life, peace and music,” says John in a statement published on the festival’s website.
