RSVP'ing thanks, but no thanks.
John Legend
John Legend vertelde de 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."
Idina Menzel
"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," aldus Idina Menzel aan Vanity Fair.
Kanye West
"No, No. Donald is a great admirer of Kanye, as we are all, but he is not performing at inauguration," voorzitter van de inaugurele commissie, Tom Barrack aan CNN.
The Dixie Chicks
The Dixie Chicks' manager vertelde aan TheWrap, "If anyone does do it, I hope that the check that they get is in the nine figures. Because it's probably the last check they're ever going to get."
Issa Rae
Issa Rae verklaarde zich nader aan TheWrap: "If I died and they like Weekend at Bernie's–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."
Eric McCormack
Eric McCormack vertelde aan TheWrap dat hij het op een voorwaarde zou overwegen: "My whole brain removed from my head," he joked.
David Foster
Musician David Foster schreef in een 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 Chainsmokers
New York magazine's Brian Feldman stuurde er een tweet uit met: "The chainsmokers are performing at the inauguration." Maar de manager van de band was er gauw bij met het nieuws dat dat absoluut niet het geval was.
Michael Rapaport
"I wouldn't do it for money. Trump has no flavor. His supporters have no flavor," aldus acteur en grappenmaker Michael Rapaport aan TheWrap.
Adam Lambert
BBC laat weten dat Adam Lambert zei: "I don't think I would take the money on that one."
Alex Wolff
"No f—ing way. I'm not going to elaborate further because I know when to be tight-lipped, but no f—ing way," Alex Wolff, van de Naked Brothers Band, aan TheWrap.
Any D.C. Marching Bands
Voor het eerst in twintig jaar zegt de band niet geïnteresseerd te zijn in een optreden.
Andrea Bocelli
Een bron vertelde Page Six, "Bocelli said there was no way he'd take the gig...he was 'getting too much heat' and he said no." Een andere bron: "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."
Elton John
Nope. Not performing.
