Rock legend Ted Nugent recently announced his final tour, dubbed Adios Mofo '23. He was due to perform at Avondale Brewing Co. in Birmingham, Alabama on July 18th, but according to AL.com the show has been cancelled "amid social media backlash."
About 1,000 comments were posted on Avondale Brewing’s Facebook page after the show was announced, and most of them were bluntly negative. More than 150 comments on the venue’s Instagram page followed suit.
Detractors cited their opposition to Nugent’s far right-wing political views -- which the rocker himself has proudly called “radical” -- and said they wouldn’t support Avondale Brewing Co. in the future if Nugent performed there. They slammed the rocker as homophobic, transphobic, misogynistic, an intolerant hate-monger and more.
