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.'

Long past time for us to start threatening the left’s lives.
no, no threats. real action is required
An Uncle Tom? Doesn’t Bocelli know he’s white?
A new Hollywood Blacklist? LMAO. These fascists are goosestepping so hard they can’t see the irony.
“Ah, the tolerance of the facist left!”
The fascist freepers who keep telling us the bikers at Waco got what they deserved must be SO proud of their punk god obama this week!!!
The thing to do is this.
Track down the threats, prepare a case against the ones who issued threats and then prosecute them to the fullest extent of the law. If a liberal Judge throws out the case on some BS 1st Amendment issue the case should be appealed and appealed again. The gov’t has endlessly deep pockets and once it becomes known the punks who issue their threats will suffer not just potential jail time but financial ruin as well, we will begin to see and end to their insane behavior.
Currently they believe they can say or so ANYTHING and use as an excuse what they claim are their “rights” under our Constitution. They simply need a forceful and unrelenting lesson in the error of their ways.
Plaque over my desk:
“Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups”
That’s ok. Opera singers aren’t exactly known for being “tough guys”.
The left/democrats/progressives or whatever they're calling themselves this week are just like the rest of the terrorists in the world.
ISIS was in the news in the past couple of weeks for killing some kids for playing ball and another group got whacked for dancing.
American Democrat Party members fit right in with the rest of the "inclusive, open minded" terrorists around the world.
It’s a shame Joe McCarthy is no longer around when you need him.
The left must be going crazy, because Paul Anka is the one who wrote the song for Sinatra and they can't to anything about his changing the words because he is the one who wrote the song in the first place
Bingo!! Democrat Leftists that THREATEN a person for SINGING...SINGING.....is a sign of how far the Democrats have fallen into the abyss.
BOYCOTT BOCELLI.
Love Trumps Hate
Lol...historically a sad consistency.
LBGT represents like .2 percent of the population but seem to have the lions share of influence on how the country is run. Imagine if Gun owners had that much juice.
pressure from fans on social media......... Now The Mail reports he is backing out due to threats on his life........
That could be a deterrent, no matter where it comes from.
The bullies use such tactics to get their way. This is going too far and needs to be stopped before there is blood shed on both sides. Bullying idiots!
He is not an opera singer. He is a pop singer. Period.
The left is on notice, kill one of our icons and suffer a million consequences. Some things do not need to be said. They are simply true. The tyranny of the left is over. They either back off or their numbers will be reduced to a factor of 1.
Can you imagine if this kind of crap happened at Hillary or Obamas inauguration? The press would be screaming sexism and racism for the next 90 years, but because it’s a white Republican this kind of bias garbage is perfectly acceptable to them.
