The singer says she has been made aware of issues 'that do not align with the communities I support'.
Melanie C has pulled out of a New Year's Eve concert in Poland after being made aware of issues "that do not align with the communities I support".She didn't specify why she cancelled her appearance, but her decision was praised by LGBT people and allies.
Polish authorities and the TV station organising the concert have been widely criticised in recent years for their stances on LGBT rights.: "In light of some issues that have been brought to my attention, that do not align with the communities I support, I'm afraid I will no longer be able to perform in Poland as planned on New Year's Eve.
"I hope to be back there very soon. Hope you're all having a wonderful Christmas and best wishes for 2023. Melanie xxx." The New Year's Eve show is being organised by state broadcaster TVP, who said she had withdrawn "under the pressure of online comments".The star has been a high-profile supporter of LGBT rights, winning the celebrity ally prize at the British LGBT Awards in 2021 and being named "Honorary Gay" at Attitude magazine's awards earlier this year.
