Demi Lovato, Nick Jonas cancel North Carolina tour stops over anti-LGBTQ law
Nick Jonas and Demi Lovato have canceled their upcoming tour dates in North Carolina in protest of the state's controversial Public Facilities Privacy and Security Act (HB2) law. Widely perceived as being anti-LGBTQ, the stars join artists such as Bruce Springsteen, Pearl Jam and Boston as acts who have recently pulled the plug on North Carolina shows in response to the new law.
"After much thought and deliberation, we have decided to cancel our Honda Civic Tour: Future Now shows in Raleigh and Charlotte. One of our goals for the tour has always been to create an atmosphere where every single attendee feels equal, included, and accepted for who they are," they wrote Monday in a statement posted on both of their Twitter accounts.
