Adam Lambert on whether he would perform at Trump inauguration

Adam Lambert says he wouldn't perform at Donald Trump's presidential inauguration in January, even if there were huge sums of money on offer.

The president elect is due to be sworn into power on January 20, but it seems Lambert wouldn't be keen to perform at the event. He told the BBC on Monday (December 12):

"I don't think I would take the money on that one. I don't think I'd be endorsing that. They might struggle."

It has been suggested Trump's team is struggling to book high-profile acts for the event. In 2009, president Barack Obama had Beyoncé and Aretha Franklin perform for him.

John Legend added to the BBC: "Creative people tend to reject bigotry and hate. We tend to be more liberal-minded. When we see somebody that's preaching division and hate and bigotry, it's unlikely he'll get a lot of creative people that want to be associated with him."

Zara Larsson added: "I would never do it. A lot of artists out there have been very pro-Hillary and anti-Donald. So I would never do it and most other smart people wouldn't do it."
