Holliday apologized for being uneducated on the issues that affect every American at this crucial time in history and for causing such dismay and heartbreak to my fans.I was honestly just thinking that I wanted my voice to be a healing and unifying force for hope through music to help our deeply polarized country, she wrote. Regretfully, I did not take into consideration that my performing for the concert would actually instead be taken as a political act against my own personal beliefs and be mistaken for support of Donald Trump and Mike Pence.Holliday retweeted a Saturday tweet from RuPauls Drag Race contestant Victoria PorkChop Parker thanking Holliday for canceling her performance:@LadyJHOLLIDAY Has declined the offer to perform for #Trump #ThankYou Make your voice heard! https://t.co/8N93D2xqrx PorkChop Parker (@PorkChopLA) January 14, 2017 Holliday called herself a bi-partisan songbird, noting she has performed for Presidents Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton and George W. Bush.Others who agreed to perform at Trumps inauguration include country singer Toby Keith and rock band 3 Doors Down. Actor Jon Voight also is slated to appear.Read Hollidays letter at The Wrap. -- This feed and its contents are the property of The Huffington Post, and use is subject to our terms.
