More artists have canceled performances at the Kennedy Center after President Donald Trump's name was added to the facility. Jazz supergroup The Cookers announced their withdrawal from a New Year's Eve concert. They didn't mention the renaming but emphasized their commitment to music that bridges divisions. Saxophone player Billy Harper criticized the venue's association with Trump, citing concerns over racism and cultural destruction. Kennedy Center president Richard Grenell claimed the cancellations were politically motivated and that the center has received inquiries from artists willing to perform.
