Inauguration performances use to be an honor, a celebration of Americas unique electoral system. But the media has reduced this years to a B-list side gig that only desperate artists would dare to play at. When news broke that popular blind tenor Andrea Bocelli would be singing at Trumps inauguration, people took to social media and started a push to punish him for showing any support for the President-elect. Now, one month before the event, Bocelli has decided the performance isnt worth the backlash.
Twitter users adopted the #boycottbocelli hashtag to show their horror that a well-respected artist would dare agree to perform at the January inauguration. The social media fervor has now become so intense that Bocelli has backed out of the performance.

Socialists are bullies. And in other news, the sun rose in the East this morning.
Liberals are not just unhinged, they are pathological.
Perhaps a nice Church Choir could step in and sing hymns. Or would that be offensive?
Liberals doing what they do best..if they want to know what INTOLERANCE looks like they need to have a good hard look in the MIRROR..they are the most bigoted, racist pieces of filth you can ever come across
Liberals are the real Fascists.
Reportedly he received death threats
What an effective way to achieve social justice
The 16 year old singer Jackie Evancho and her family are under similar attack
I bet Ted Nugent will play and not be bullied?
I find it a shame this person DID NOT stand up to this bullying!!! WE must start to STAND UP AGAINST THIS CRAP!!!!
I’m sure that there are quite a few people that would be honored to perform. The liberals can only boycott, bully, and push the weak. If a performer is too weak to stand in the face of the bullies, then he or she shouldn’t be there anyway.
My 15 year-old son points out, how do liberals carry out threats to kill people if they don’t believe in guns? Run people over? Throw rocks at them? What do they do?
The snowflakes are getting (even more) out of hand. Time to fire this baby up:
SOROS needs to be extradited to Russia!!!! This BASTARD has done to much damage to our nation!!!
perfect for ted nugent !
>>Perhaps a nice Church Choir could step in and sing hymns. Or would that be offensive?
I was thinking the same thing. He should bring in Christian voices and have them point out before they sing that (name of secular artist) was supposed to be performing in this spot, but God can even work with Godless Communists who forced the secular artist off the stage so this message from the Lord your God could be given instead.
It will sound like a giant popcorn popper as Proggie heads explode across the nation.
H/t seastay.
These things should work both ways. I do not listen to Bocelli’s type music but certainly would not again if I did. I quit going to the movies years ago because of two faced hypocrite so called movie stars. Then I found out without make-up most of them were as ugly as homemade sin!
There are PLENTY of country western entertainers that would LOVE and be honored to do the inauguration they also pack heat and won’t be bullied!!!
Might as well do the gig anyway. He’s already been outed, so it isn’t like he won’t face future blacklisting regardless.
