Dreamgirls star Jennifer Holliday:
[...]“I was receiving death threats at this point. I was receiving death threats from black people, the N-word from black people. They were saying they were going to kill me.”
‘Oh my God, there are black people calling me this!’ There were saying I should kill myself or, you know, someone should kill me — all over singing a song! I said, ‘I just wanted to sing!’”
Bruce Springsteen cover band cancelled under heavy pressure.
[....]Bruce Springsteen cover band ‘B Street Band’ has cancelled its pre-Inauguration event, citing problems with fans and E Street Band members.
“As time went by, the complexity of the situation became real immense and intense,” Forte tells Rolling Stone. “The band was caught in a hurricane."
Blind tenor Andrea Bocelli:
[...]Opera star Andrea Bocelli has backed out of singing at Donald Trump's inauguration after receiving death threats - joining the list of celebrities to decline or cancel on the president-elect.
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.
