The same day we told you that conservatives were ticked off at Tim McGraw for supporting the Sandy Hook Benefit that supports anti gun laws, Billy Currington backed out of the show.

His exact words:

I’ve never been one to take on controversial issues – I’m a singer. I do feel strongly about honoring and supporting the Sandy Hook community and will be making a donation to a local organization. I appreciate people’s freedom and passion for whatever cause they want to support, however, I am choosing to step aside from this fundraiser and will focus instead on the rest of the tour dates as I look forward to being on the road with Tim and Chase and having a blast with all of the fans.

The fans comments on there couldn’t have been more supportive of his decision. Giving him kudos and praise for not giving in to “gun haters.”

    So did he drop because of the controversy? Did he drop because he is pro gun? What?

I've been known to write a funny story every once in awhile. I can't dance, sing or play an instrument but I can work an iPod like nobody's business. So in a nutshell, I love country music, I love country music concerts, and if I am not doing something related to those things then I am most likely dancing my lil heart out to Taylor Swift.
