Opera star Andrea Bocelli backed out of singing at Donald Trump's inauguration after receiving death threats, The Mail on Sunday has learnt.
The revelation came as another singer – Broadway legend Jennifer Holliday – last night pulled out of the President-elect's festivities after being threatened and branded an 'Uncle Tom'.
When blind tenor Bocelli announced he would not sing at this Friday's celebration, it was widely reported it was because fans had said they would boycott his concerts and records.
But a source said the 58-year-old had been determined to 'press ahead' and sing but had pulled out on the advice of his security team after receiving threats to his life.
A source close to Bocelli, a friend of Trump's, said: 'Andrea is very sad to be missing the chance to sing at such a huge global event but he has been advised it is simply not worth the risk.'

The LGBT crowd convinced Jennifer Holiday to back out.
I hope everyone who sent a death threat will be tracked down and imprisoned, plus fined severely. Terrorism cannot be tolerated just because it comes from yet another violent (or pretend violent) Obama supporter.
Death Threats!!!! For SINGING!!! The LEFT, especially the GAY left and the BLACK left, are certifiably INSANE!!
January 21 st, where death threats are taken seriously and those making them will be found and prosecuted
Well, I think we all know better than to underestimate the level of “crazy” we are dealing with on the left. I pray President Trump and all his team of patriots understand as well.
Either way this is a sick scenario.If there was no threat Bocelli is playing a sick game here.If there was a threat...well,I needn't go on.
A death threat to a blind man, how “progressive”.
We have known for weeks it was the death threats. Trump’s team insomuch has said so. They have seen the threats and I’m sure that Sessions’ new people have a long list of people to have some talks with. Not sure where Sheriff Clarke will land but would it be nice to see him as part of the new enforcement apparatus? Just imagine being one of the pukes they already have a line on opening the door to that man, cowboy hat and all. IT would be like meeting Lurch (the honest one) with an attitude and the first words out of his mouth to be “You rang?”
No great loss...bring on The Nuge!
I’d love to see the loony left make a death threat against The Nuge. I can already imagine his reaction.
Good point. You can bet this will be prosecuted for crime it is after Obama leaves office.
The Trump Jutice Department needs to run down these threats and the libtards who have been intimidating other pro-Trump performers.
I loathe the cultural marxists! It would be worth having a civil war just to be able to do away with them and their oppression.
Ah, the tolerance of the facist left!
All of the performers should NOT have been announced: let them show up as a surprise.
They despise so many things except as it applies to them. Like bullying.
Now finally, I am convinced the liberals are tolerant, inclusive, have no hate for anyone, love all people. /Sarc
