DISTURBED frontman David Draiman sang the US national anthem, "The Star-Spangled Banner", at The Algemeiner's twelfth annual J100 gala on Monday, March 9, 2026 in New York City.

Video of his rendition can be seen below.

Draiman was honored at this year's event, which convened global leaders and public figures for an evening centered on moral clarity and solidarity.

The Master Of Ceremonies was conservative commentator Scott Jennings.

This marks another instance of Draiman's vocal activism for the State Of Israel, as he has been a prominent figure in the fight against antisemitism.

DISTURBED includes guitarist/keyboardist Dan Donegan, bassist John Moyer and drummer Mike Wengren.

Draiman's family has a history with Israel, with his grandfather serving in the IDF and both maternal grandparents being Holocaust survivors.
