Mel C was supposed to be a special guest at a New Year's Eve concert organized by polish state broadcaster TVP 2. However, yesterday she posted that she wouldn't be performing bc she was made aware of issues (she doesn't say anything specific but it's about LGBTQ+ issues since Poiand's government and the state broadcaster have been attracking our community for years, they even made a "dcoumentary" called Invasion about activists).
Accoridng to ILGA 's annual Rainbow index Poland is the worst country for LGBTQ+ people in the EU.
"In light of some issues that have been brought to my attention, that do not align with the communities I support, I'm afraid I will no longer be able to perform in Poland as planned on New Year's Eve.
I hope to be back there very soon. Hope you're all having a wonderful Christmas and best wishes for 2023."
