Steps cancelled a lucrative gig in Dubai over a clause in their contract that banned them from mentioning sexuality.
Ian ‘H’ Watkins, who is gay, said the iconic pop band were offered the “pot of gold gig” in the country, which has strict laws against homosexuality.
The 47-year-old confessed he felt bad for “not speaking out sooner”, and said his bandmates Lee Latchford-Evans, Claire Richards, Lisa Scott-Lee, and Faye Tozer unanimously turned down the big money show because of the country’s “horrendous human rights issues”.
