Kickstarter campaign launched to ban Nickelback from London
This guy really doesn't like Kroeger
Considering the mountains of bad publicity she's had, Britney Spears' poor selling 2011 tour seems somewhat insignificant. Her UK tour saw her perform to less than impressive crowds, with videos emerging of her performing to a half empty o2 arena. Perhaps fans took the request to "leave Britney alone" a little too literally.

One man, really really doesn't like Nickelback. Inspired by the recent run of successful Kickstarter music campaigns, a man has started his own to ban Nickelback from playing in London for the foreseeable future.
Craig Mandell is hoping to raise ($1000) £626 to ban the divisive band from playing in the city, calling the project 'Don't let Nickel-back'.
According to the Kickstarter page, which has currently received $6 of funding, Mandell plans on adding backers' names to a strongly worded email to be sent to the band's management, with the severity of the message dependent on how many people fund the project.
The campaign's description reads: "We are attempting to ensure that Canadian "rockers" Nickelback do not come to London, England to play a gig. With your help, we can ensure that the band do not schedule any gigs here, do not attempt to come here - nor even phone here."
"Just imagine, thousands - perhaps tens of thousands of music lovers - all not witnessing an exclusive concert by Nickelback in London."
Watch the video for Nickelback's 'Rockstar' below:
The crowd-funding site seems to be hugely popular at the moment, with a recent campaign urging Foo Fighters to play a show in Cornwall hit a £150,000 target in just two days, with a similar campaign for a Birmingham show also hitting target remarkably quickly.
The 'Don't let Nickel-back' campaign ends on 3 November.
