Aerosmith singer Steven Tyler meets new US envoy David Friedman at Kotel
Frontman of world famous rockers bumps into President Trump's new Israeli ambassador at the holiest site for Jews
Just another day at the Western Wall.
Aerosmith singer Steven Tyler, who is in Israel to play a concert, ran into the new U.S. ambassador to Israel, David Friedman, at the holy site on Monday.
The grizzled rocker and the white-haired diplomat were quite the odd couple, making for an interesting photo op.
Aerosmith is readying to play Wednesday at Tel Aviv’s Yarkon Park — the band’s first performance in the Jewish state in 22 years.
Tyler reportedly requested a slew of specific healthy foods to show up in his room: organic goat milk, organic almonds and cashews, washed blueberries, Pink Lady apples and flavoured seltzer.
Friedman arrived in Israel on Monday — visiting the Western Wall was clearly a top priority — and presented his credentials to Israeli President Reuven Rivlin the following day. He will busy from the get-go, as President Donald Trump is scheduled to visit the Jewish state next week.
No word if Friedman is crazy for Aerosmith.
