    COMPLETE HORESHIT. As someone that was going, I'm disappointed but understand. I'M FUCKING FURIOUS that's it's 48 hours away. There are non-refundable flightts, hotels, ticket swaps, etc. AT LEAST HAVE THE BALLS TO DO IT WITH SOME WARNING SO YOU DON'T LEAVE THOUSANDS HIGH AND DRY.

    it was a complete douche move by the band that only followed suit because Bruce did it...like someone said they just refused service to pearl jam fans and those that had nothing to do with the bill, but give shit to bakeries and people that don't want to service LGBT community...hypocrites!

    im not for that bill, but seriously the hypocrisy in high profile people are astonishing

    It was the right move by the band. They should have just cancelled it a lot sooner.

    Yup they could have canceled a week ago or even a month ago! Riding Bruce's coattails! If he hadn't have canceled pj wouldn't have. Everyone knows it!

    They should keep track of everyone who won tix and offer them tix to another show in the (near) future.

    That really sucks for those of you that were attending. You have a right to be upset.

    I think it's too little too late to cancel 48 hours before the show. In my opinion, it will not effect the bill and North Carolina politics. If cancelling actually took away the law then it might be worth it, but that's not the case.

    They should of played the show and made a statement in some other way. Really feel for all the fans that may have lost hard earned money on flights and hotels

    Big shows like this bring boatloads of tourist dollars to the state, especially when several other artists follow suit. This decision doesn't just negatively affect the 20k people who were going to be in attendance, it negatively affects the lawmakers and the people who support them as well.

    This was the right decision.

    If they gave further notice, no problem. The venue would've just found another big name to fill that vacant date.

    You're supposed to be pissed people.

    That's the point.

    Now get off your ass and do something with your anger that repeals this or helps prevent this type of thing in other states.

    Sorry for the fans who missed out and any trouble it put you through but you are not the real victims. The real victims are hurt much worse. Try to keep some perspective.

    I get why they are doing it but the timing is really hurting their fans more than anything. Just not right, know a lot of people who are getting screwed right now. Hotels and flights are all none refundable, they should have done this a week ago.

    Not to be a dick but... perhaps statements like this are the very reason they cancelled the show.

    I have no horse in the race here, so it is easy for me to stand behind the band and say they made the right decision. I just returned from 3 shows in FL and I know I'd be plenty pissed had I spent money on flights and hotels to see the Raleigh show so I completely understand the anger and disappointment. But as someone else already mentioned, this is exactly the point.

    Pearl Jam is discriminating against their fans that were planning to go to Raleigh
