Musical acts back out of performing at Trump-affiliated concert series

Morris Day, Young MC and others balk at appearing at US's 250th anniversary events organized by administration

At least six of the nine featured musical acts set to play in a concert series organized by the Trump administration to mark the United States' 250th anniversary have dropped out, just one day after the lineup was announced.

The first to drop out, hours after Wednesday's announcement, was Morris Day, who called his scheduled participation in the summer concert series on Washington DC's National Mall a baseless rumor".
