The popular Bruce Springsteen cover group, the B-Street Band has decided not to play the Garden State Presidential Inaugural Gala. The group had signed a contract to play the event back in 2013, long before the candidates were decided. However, controversy over the event has caused the group to bow out. The group’s manager, publicist, and keyboardist Will Forte told Rolling Stone that they have received, “thousands of emails from both sides.” He went on to say, “We’re standing out in the storm right here,” he told the band. “We gotta get out of the storm.” Springsteen has made his dislike for the president-elect publicly known on numerous occasions. Forte said, “We felt that we had to make it known that we didn’t want to seem disrespectful, in any way, shape or form, to Bruce and his music and his band. I don’t want to upset them. We owe everything to him and our gratitude and respect to the band is imperative above all else.” Copyright(c) 2017 RTTNews.com. All Rights ReservedLess «
