Bryan Adams Cancels Concert in Mississippi over Anti-LGBT Law

HeadlineApr 12, 2016

Musician Bryan Adams has canceled a Thursday concert in Biloxi, Mississippi, to protest the state’s new law allowing some groups and businesses to deny service to LGBT people. Adams said in a statement: “I cannot in good conscience perform in a State where certain people are being denied their civil rights due to their sexual orientation.” His move comes after Bruce Springsteen canceled a show in North Carolina to protest another new anti-LGBT law in that state.
