Britain's Got More Talent's Alesha Dixon pulls out of pro-Brexit music event

Britain's Got Talent judge, Alesha Dixon, is the latest artist to pull out of BPop Live, a pro-Brexit music event in Birmingham, as they are concerned it will turn into a political rally.

Dixon's representative told Standard Online:

"When Alesha was approached to perform at this event it was on the understanding that this was a multi artist pop concert at a fantastic venue in the heart of the UK and Alesha would be there purely as an entertainer.

It has now come to light that this is more of a political rally with entertainment included and we have decided to withdraw Alesha from the event."

5ive pulled out yesterday (May 24). Their management told the BBC:

"They would like to make it clear that as a band 5ive have no political allegiances or opinions for either side.

"As it has come to light that this is more a political rally with entertainment included they have both decided to cancel their involvement.

"They would like to make it clear that as a band 5ive have no political allegiances or opinions for either side.

"Their allegiance is first and foremost to their fans."

East17 and Sister Sledge are still due to perform at the event on June 19. The EU referendum takes place on June 23.
