Lady Gaga Asked To Axe Arizona Gig Over Immigration Law Add to My Fav Bands List

Fans of Lady Gaga have launched an online petition calling for the singer to scrap a gig in Arizona over the state's controversial new immigration law.

The singer is due to perform at US Airways Center in Phoenix on July 31 as part of her Monster Ball tour.

But Lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender groups (LGBTQ) want Lady Gaga to pull out of the concert due to the recently passed SB 1070 regulation.

The policy allows police to challenge people they suspect of being an illegal immigrant.

In an open letter, the LGBTQ said: “As an icon and beloved artist, please join us in boycotting Arizona and turn your trip into an opportunity to meet your little monsters in the Migrant LGBTQ.munity so that you can speak out against the hateful laws and be a champion for this human rights cause."

Other acts including Rage Against The Machine and Kanye West have vowed to boycott to state over the new law.

The North American leg of Lady Gaga's Monster Ball tour runs until September.

  • Why don't you follow the lead of your friend Elton John and pay zero attention to this political BS. I saw him last week in Tucson, AZ and he made a comment about the stupidity of the artists that are cancelling their shows. Kanye West, Rage Against the Machine? Who Cares!!!

  • I used to really like her. Alejandro was just to get our funds and move on. Very surprised that she is so uncaring. This was all a front. This was the same Lady Gaga who talked about how people were being racist to her.

  • What about the fans you're letting down that DON'T support the law? I do, but it's ridiculous to let them suffer because you're selfish. Don't be another idiot Lady Gaga. Don't let down your fans.
