Neil Young Cancels Free Ukraine Concert Over Safety Concerns

Weeks after announcing a free show in Ukraine, Neil Young has been forced to cancel his plans.

Young had previously shared word of the forthcoming gig earlier in the month, revealing that his European tour with The Chrome Hearts would be preceded by his debut performance in the country. The highly-contentious meeting resulted in widespread criticism of Trump, and took place only days after Young himself focused on the President in a post titled “Leader of the Free World No More.” Young’s upcoming tour will see him accompanied on all shows by the Chrome Hearts band, featuring his longtime collaborator keyboardist/organist Spooner Oldham, as well as Promise of the Real members Micah Nelson (guitar/vocals), Corey McCormick (bass) and Anthony LoGerfo (drums).
