Freedom 250 initially announced Bret Michaels, the Commodores, and Martina McBride as performers, with some also slated for an "I Love the ’90s" show on June 26. By late Thursday, all three had withdrawn from the lineup, and Morris Day and Young MC were also removed.

    1. There is far too much to celebrate about this great nation to let noise and division distract from the incredible moment ahead.
    2. We respect the rights of any artist to make their own decisions, and our doors remain open to any performer who wants to be part of honoring 250 years of American freedom, culture, and unity.

    1. I was presented with an opportunity to perform at a nonpartisan event but that turned out to be misleading.

    1. My shows have never been about politics. They're about giving people a place to come together, have a great time and forget about life's stresses for a few hours.
    2. Unfortunately, what was presented to us as a celebration of our country has evolved into something much more divisive than what I agreed to be a part of.

    1. I'm not going to get dragged into that. I'm here to party with America, man.

    1. The artists were never told about any political involvement with the event.

    1. The day I let you motherf**kers tell me what to do is the day I die.
