The free concert in Ukraine that Neil Young announced a few weeks back looks like it isn’t happening after all. Young has cancelled, saying that he couldn’t “in good conscience” take his band and crew into a war zone.
“We had a good venue, close to a shelter, but the changing situation on the ground was too much,” Young wrote on his website, Neil Young Archives. “I could not in good conscience take my crew and instruments into that area. My apologies to all. Ukraine is a great country with a good leader. Slava Ukraini.”
