The benefit concert for the National Rifle Association is being scrapped due to performers dropping out. Jacob Bryant was the only remaining act for the concert in Houston, which was scheduled for the organization's annual conference, and he announced Friday the show has been axed. Jacob was pressured on social media to join the ranks of other performers who dropped out in the wake of the Texas school shooting. The first domino was American Pie singer Don McLean, who decided not to perform on the stage after the Uvalde school shooting, which claimed the lives of 19 students and 2 teachers. Don said it would be disrespectful to perform. The singer Larry Gatlin pulled out of the event on Thursday, saying he could not perform in good conscience because he supports the 2nd amendment but wants background checks for gun purchases. The hammer came down Thursday, though there has yet to be an official word from the NRA. The Uvalde shooting happened about 280 miles away from the convention of the National Rifle Association.
