Bret Michaels Steps Out Of Great American State Fair Lineup: 'This Isn't About Politics' [View all]
Bret Michaels won’t be performing at the Great American State Fair.
The ex-Poison singer has scratched his name from the line-up, a 16-day free festival in Washington, D.C., running June 25 through July 10 on the National Mall to celebrate America’s 250th anniversary. He becomes the sixth act to walk away since the music program was announced on Wednesday, May 27 by Freedom 250.
“Unfortunately,” he writes in a lengthy social post, “what was presented to us as a celebration of our country has evolved into something much more divisive than what I agreed to be a part of. Concerns have also been raised regarding the safety of my fans, band, crew, family and myself, including threats that are completely unfounded and unforgivable.”
Because of that, he continues, “I have made the difficult decision to step away from this performance.”
