Summary
Bret Michaels, lead singer of Poison, has withdrawn from the Great American State Fair concert in Washington, D.C., which is part of the Trump administration's Freedom 250 initiative celebrating America's 250th anniversary. Michaels stated the event was pitched as a non-political celebration honoring veterans, military, first responders, and teachers, but evolved into something more divisive than he agreed to.
