After more than a decade: the moving performance of the legendary Israeli band
Danny Dotan launched his poetry book, "Don't Light a Candle for Me," and performed the song on stage, alongside other songs by the band Ha-Click, for the first time since his bandmate, Eli Abramov, passed away almost 11 years ago. Watch the extraordinary performance.

Danny Dotan launched his debut book this past Tuesday, named after the Ha-Click hit, "Don't Light a Candle for Me," edited by Yael Katz Ben-Shalom. At the end of the event, Dotan took to the stage to perform Ha-Click songs for the first time since Eli Abramov passed away nearly 11 years ago. Watch the moving performance by Dotan of the hit "Don't Light a Candle for Me," which he had not performed for over a decade. He was accompanied on keyboards by Yasmin Even, who performed with Ha-Click during the band's final tours.
The band Ha-Click was founded in 1980 by two Jerusalemites, Dotan and Eli Abramov. It combined new wave, post-punk, and rock. They released three studio albums. The first two became milestones in Israeli rock: "Mom, I Don't Want to Wean" from 1981 with "Incubator" and "Golem," and "Crowded World" from 1983 with "Don't Light a Candle for Me" and "The Whole Truth." In 2014, they recorded their farewell album in the United States, "I'm Not in the Soundtrack."
In 2015, Abramov passed away after battling a serious illness. Previously, drummer Jean-Jacques Goldberg and keyboardist Rona Vered, who were partners in the band's journey, had also passed away.
