All the Celebrities Who Won't Perform at Donald Trump's Inauguration

Charlotte Church tweeted, "@realDonaldTrump Your staff have asked me to sing at your inauguration, a simple Internet search would show I think you're a tyrant. Bye"

John Legend told BBC, "Creative people tend to reject bigotry and hate. We tend to be more liberal-minded. When we see somebody that's preaching division and hate and bigotry, it's unlikely he'll get a lot of creative people that want to be associated with him."

"I think it's karma, baby. I mean, look. All the artists in the world got up and tried to get our girl elected, and it still didn't happen, so we're all still trying to recover from that. Maybe he'll just have to sing something himself. He probably thinks he has a great voice; he thinks he does everything great," Idina Menzel told Vanity Fair. 

"I would never do it," singer Zara Larsson told BBC.

"No, No. Donald is a great admirer of Kanye, as we are all, but he is not performing at inauguration," chairman of Trump's inaugural committee, Tom Barrack said to CNN.

TheWrap reported that Trump's friend who owns many Las Vegas hotels, Steven Wynn, said that he would be able to easily secure the singer, but she declined when approached for the job. 

Issa Rae explained to TheWrap, "If I died and they like 'Weekend at Bernies'ed me, so they just propped me up on stage. That's literally the only way I would perform. I would just be like [lifeless], and they'll move my lips for me."

Erick McCormack told TheWrap that he would do it in exchange for a lobotomy. "My whole brain removed from my head," he joked.

Musician David Foster wrote in an Instagram post, "Woke up this morning to a lot of news. For the record, I was asked to participate in the upcoming inauguration some time ago and I politely and respectfully declined. Any news outlet that is reporting otherwise is misinformed."

The BBC reports that Adam Lambert said, "I don't think I would take the money on that one."

"No f*cking way. I'm not going to elaborate further because I know when to be tight-lipped, but no f*cking way," Alex Wolff, of the Naked Brothers Band fame, told the TheWrap.

TMZ reported that Vince Neil and his band tried to work with the Secret Service to get clearance perform at the inauguration before the election thinking that everything was already was confirmed. It was suggested that Hillary Clinton and her team were so confident in winning that they booked him two months in advance,  but when Trump became the president-elect he was uninvited. 

Originally leaving the door opened to performing for Trump's inauguration, a source familiar with the situation told TheWrap that he will sit this one out instead. 

A source told Page Six, "Bocelli said there was no way he'd take the gig...he was 'getting too much heat' and he said no." Another source countered, saying, "Trump suggested to Bocelli he not participate because of the backlash. It's sad people on the left kept him from performing on a historic day."
