Neil Young Cancels Free Concert in Ukraine, Citing Safety Concerns
The post Neil Young Cancels Free Concert in Ukraine, Citing Safety Concerns appeared first on Consequence.
Neil Young has canceled plans to play a free concert in Ukraine, saying he couldn't 'in good conscience' take his crew into the war-torn country.
'We had a good venue, close to a shelter, but the changing situation on the ground was too much,' Young wrote on his website. 'I could not in good conscience take my crew and instruments into that area. My apologies to all. Ukraine is a great country with a good leader. Slava Ukraini'

Young announced the show earlier this month, but didn't follow up with specific details like a date and location. He previously described Russia's invasion of Ukraine as 'the crazy war of an old dying guy who wants to relive his life and make things better for himself because of mistakes he thinks were made 50 years ago.'
More recently, Young gave a harsh assessment of how Putin's pal, President Trump, has been leading the United States. 'Under 47's leadership, the US has lost its standing,' he wrote. 'Loyalists will never be stronger than Patriots, and Patriots are in the majority here in the USA. Our Patriots will take to the streets to peacefully demonstrate. There will be a moment of truth in our country and we will show the world who we really are. The USA will again be the leader of the Free World.'
In June, Young and his new band, the chrome hearts, will kick off the UK/European leg of their 'love earth world tour,' followed by a North American run beginning in August. Tickets can be purchased here.

Stefon Diggs Breaks Silence on Viral Boat Video at Patriots Minicamp Tuesday
Stefon Diggs Breaks Silence on Viral Boat Video at Patriots Minicamp Tuesday originally appeared on Athlon Sports. It's been a very busy offseason for star wide receiver Stefon Diggs—for a variety of reasons. He's continuing to ramp up his rehab from the torn ACL he suffered during the 2024 season with the Houston Texans, he signed a deal with the New England Patriots, and he's reportedly begun dating rapper Cardi B. Advertisement However, that attention came with controversy. A video recently surfaced showing Diggs partying on a boat with Cardi B and several others. In the clip, Diggs appears to pull an unknown pink substance from his pocket, prompting speculation and concern online. Diggs arrived at mandatory minicamp this week alongside his Patriots teammates and was asked directly about the video. He gave a firm but guarded response: 'Obviously I want to get as candid as possible with you guys,' Diggs said. 'I kind of have this thing where I don't really talk about my personal life with people I don't know personally. I'm pretty sure everybody here—men or women—are great people, but personal life is personal. 'I had a conversation with [Mike Vrabel], and I'm going to echo everything he said. He told me he's hoping everybody is making good decisions. I also had conversations with people in the building as well. Everything else is everything, and the particulars are all internal.' Diggs has been one of the NFL's top wide receivers throughout a career that has spanned stints with the Minnesota Vikings, Buffalo Bills, a brief stop with the Texans, and now his fourth team—the Patriots. With his return to the AFC East, he'll now face his former team in Buffalo twice a year.

Advertisement The organization is undergoing a reset in 2025, with Mike Vrabel taking over as head coach and Josh McDaniels returning as offensive coordinator after several years away from the team.
