Fair enough, too

Following 3 Doors Down getting slammed online for agreeing to play Donald Trump's upcoming inauguration event — and countless other acts pulling out of the event — news has emerged that Trump and his team are reportedly keeping their booked acts a secret, in an effort to stop them bailing last minute.

As TMZ reports, Trump's committee are scared that more acts such as Jennifer Holliday and Bruce Springsteen tribute act The B Street Band will back out of playing the inauguration for fear of the blowback.

The committee has reportedly secured multiple acts to play two balls — the Freedom Ball and the Liberty Ball, both in Washington DC.

Earlier this week, alt rock act 3 Doors Down faced abuse online for agreeing to play the Trump inauguration. Facebook users commented on their page, "You have chosen to back a racist, misogynistic, liar who treats everyone with nothing but disrespect unless they follow all that he says … I'm extremely disappointed and disgusted."
