An Alabama gig on Ted Nugent‘s farewell tour has been cancelled over backlash regarding the singer’s political opinions.
Nugent – who’s a excessive profile supporter of Donald Trump – was because of play the Avondale Brewing Co. venue in Birmingham, Alabama on July 18 as a part of his ‘Adios Mofo’ tour.
After the announcement, the venue’s put up concerning the gig was flooded with 1000’s of feedback protesting the present, and asking the venue to rethink, as AL report.
“I will never spend another dollar in your establishment,” one commenter wrote. “Grotesque that you would book such trash. Do better.”
Another merely stated: “Lose this show or lose my business.”
In response, the venue cancelled the present and wrote: “We have heard the concerns of the Avondale community, which is so important to us, and in conjunction with our partners, have taken the necessary steps to to cancel the Ted Nugent concert scheduled for July 18.”
Last 12 months noticed Nugent hit out at Bruce Springsteen “for being a dirtbag and supporting communists” in addition to calling Neil Young “a complete punk” over his choice to drag his music from Spotify.
Last month, Joan Jett responded after Nugent took problem together with her showing in a listing of the 100 biggest guitarists.
“He’s not a tough guy. He plays tough guy, but this is the guy who shit his pants – literally – so he didn’t have to go in the Army,” Jett instructed NME.
Nugent later tried to make clear his feedback, saying: “I love her music. Joan, I love you. It’s real rock and roll, awesome, plus I love lesbians. I think it’s cool. So I praised her and saluted her. I just said that Mark Farner should be on the list before Joan Jett because she’s not a real fiery guitar player.”
