The National Rifle Association will be without one of its performers this weekend … singer Don McLean will no longer play at the event after the elementary school shooting in Uvalde.
McLean tells us, “In light of the recent events in Texas, I have decided it would be disrespectful and hurtful for me to perform for the NRA at their convention in Houston this week. I’m sure all the folks planning to attend this event are shocked and sickened by these events as well. After all, we are all Americans.”
He continues, “I share the sorrow for this terrible, cruel loss with the rest of the nation.”
McLean, the voice behind the 1971 hit, “American Pie,” was one of several performers scheduled to take the stage in Houston this weekend — some of the others include Lee Greenwood, Danielle Peck and Larry Gatlin.
As we reported, 19 children inside a 4th-grade classroom and two teachers were killed when an 18-year-old gunman opened fire with an AR-15.
Of course, there’s still a ton of pressure on Texas government officials, including Governor Abbott, to move the event out of the state. Houston is about 250 miles from Uvalde.
