Yet another performer has quit the upcoming Donald Trump inauguration festivities.

The B Street Band, a well-known Bruce Springsteen cover band, has dropped out of a planned performance at the Garden State Inaugural Gala, and has made it clear they've done so because of Springsteen's political opinions.

Previously, the Broadway singer Jennifer Holliday dropped out of a Trump inauguration performance and apologized to fans for agreeing to it in the first place after widespread pushback.

The B Street Band released a statement saying it was quitting the gig out of respect for the Boss and his band:

Springsteen has made his dislike of Trump clear, openly wondering if the president-elect is competent enough to fulfill the basic duties of the job.
