Following Don McLean, Larry Gatlin and Larry Stewart, right-wing country singer Lee Greenwood has announced he is pulling out of the concert scheduled to take place at the rally to be organised by America’s discredited gun lobbying group, National Rifle Association (NRA), in Houston on May 27, reports ‘Variety’.
Greenwood, whose decision was clearly spurred by the massacre of school children at Uvalde, Texas, was followed by T. Graham Brown and Danielle Peck, according to ‘Variety’. Their departures leave the concert with one remaining performer, Jacob Bryant. Sources expect the concert to be cancelled on Friday.
In a statement, Greenwood said: “As a father, I join the rest of America in being absolutely heartbroken by the horrific event that transpired this week in Texas. I was scheduled to perform at the NRA’s private event on Saturday with my band. After thoughtful consideration, we have decided to cancel the appearance out of respect for those mourning the loss of those innocent children and teachers in Uvalde.”
