Hall & Oates join Arizona boycott
By CMU Editorial | Published on Tuesday 8 June 2010
Elsewhere in pop boycotts, Hall & Oates have joined the previously reported boycott of the state of Arizona. A number of artists, including Rage Against The Machine and Kanye West, are refusing to play gigs in the US state because of new immigration laws being introduced there which critics argue will lead to racial profiling and discrimination.
Daryl Hall and John Oates’ manager Jonathan Wolfson confirmed to the Associated Press yesterday that the duo were pulling out of a planned gig in Pheonix in protest at the new laws, which are due to come in to force at the end of the month.
