Maroon 5 are the latest band to cancel shows in North Carolina because of the state's anti-LGBT bill.
"We have announced that we will be canceling our upcoming shows in Charlotte and Raleigh, North Carolina because of the recent passage of the HB2 legislation," the band said in a statement on their website. "This was a difficult decision for us to make as a band. We don't want to penalize our fans in North Carolina by not performing for them, but in the end it comes down to what we feel is morally right."

Who?
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! Who?
“Baby I’m preying on you tonight
Hunt you down eat you alive
Just like animals, animals”
Video features the singer hanging in a slaughterhouse.

Here’s the video, in case you want to see what a
brilliant band is refusing to play NC over this issue...
I suspect that Maroon 5 is cancelling concerts because they aren’t selling tickets, not because of any law.
Heard of them and heard at least one of their songs (see post with a link to video).
Wish I hadn’t.
Wow, North Carolina may be able to return to being a moral State. It may be a nice peaceful place to visit soon.
I think their first album Songs About Jane was really good, but that was before they turned into a pre-teen girl band. I haven't listened to anything since.
“We don’t want to do this but we are going to do this”.
That’s the same as saying “We want to do this”.
“And she will be mugged....”
In English = we are moron 5.....😫😫😫😫😫 gay are being thrown off roofs but glad UR thinking of bathrooms..Grrr👊🏼🖕🏼
That is what I said. Should change name to Moron 5.
Hey @maroon5 (or Moron5): Bathrooms correspond to biology, not wardrobe. So, they already ARE EQUAL! #Libtard
Funny thing is, the only people in North Carolina who listen to Moron 5 are the ones who want to use the wrong restroom. #HB2
Never heard of ‘em.
Yeah, cuz bands are known for being moral bastions.
Sample of replies from their facebook page
And I regret that I will be unfollowing and unliking this page. Sadly, the predators who are already using this as an excuse to have access to victims are the ones really winning here. The majority’s rights are being trampled for a minority. Goodbye Maroon 5.
Don’t let the door hit your ass on the way out
Good riddance.
Goodbye for sure. Who needs this band? There are MUCH better bands to support, actually the ones who care about the fans who spent the money to buy their fame for them.
She’s right! Only 3% of the population identifies as transgender that means 97% dont, what I want to know is why this is all of a sudden such a big deal? I’ll tell you it’s an election year, so now I wonder what the government is trying to keep us from paying attention to? It’s a diversion tactic.
Maroon 5 played in Morocco on 6/6/15 where homosexuality is illegal and the person or people can spend up to 3 years in prison. Why didn’t they skip that show?
Screw you maroon 5 just cost me $250 cancelling your concert now do the politically correct thing and refund the service fees and other expenses
True. Or all the people boycotting NC but doing tours in Arab countries where homosexuality is a crime, often punishable by death.
Moron 5 could refer to 5 Senators, 5 Congressmen, 5 department heads in DC, etc. They would be a great fit with the Gang of 8.
Excellent point. Those who have concessions to sell food and merchandise at concerts exploit the attendees. Parking for a concert is another ripoff. As you stated, much of the money for tickets goes out of state.
If the money is spent at local restaurants or at a movie, museum or state park (etc) it problably has a better impact for local economies.
If a group that's performing wants their fans to have to tolerate pervs in the rest room, they are not a group I'm interesting in seeing.
I am starting to feel like an old man who doesn’t understand the current generation...”
I find your statement funny, although I’m sure you didn’t mean it that way. My oldest grandson turned 25 this year, returned to college after a three year absence and says almost the same thing about most of his classmates.
Band should be named the “Flaming Arseholes”
Good. Losers.
Moron 5.
Tune your guitar to open E and play with one finger. It
beats actually learning the thing.
