Ringo cancels his June 18th All Starr Tour Show
at Koka Booth Amphitheatre in Cary, NC in Opposition of HB2
Ringo Starr has canceled his North
Carolina performance in opposition to the passing of HB2. Like Bruce
Springsteen and other fellow artists, Ringo stands with those fighting
against the bigotry of HB2.
Ringo
states, "I'm sorry to disappoint my fans in the area, but we need to
take a stand against this hatred. Spread peace and love.”
This law opens the door to discrimination everywhere by limiting anti-discrimination laws against people based on their sexual orientation or gender identity.
Ringo adds, “How sad that they feel that this group of people cannot be defended."
He asks that we all support organizations that are fighting to overturn this law in whatever way we can.
As Canned Heat sang, "Let’s work together."
And The Beatles said, "All you need is love."
