'American Pie' singer Don McLean and two other country singers say they will not perform at a National Rifle Association concert this weekend, citing the Texas school shooting.
The artists were scheduled to perform at the"NRA Grand Ole Night of Freedom" concert Saturday night during the group's annual meeting in Houston. The convention begins Friday."I cannot, in good conscience, perform at the NRA convention in Houston this weekend," Gatlin said in a statement.
"My prayers and thoughts go to all who are suffering, and I pray that the NRA will rethink some of its outdated and ill-thought-out positions regarding firearms in AMERICA," Gatlin added."I’m a 2nd Amendment guy, but the 2nd Amendment should not apply to everyone. It’s that simple." "I have made the decision to pull out as a performer for the NRA convention this weekend, especially given the event is just down the road," Stewart said in part.
