The man who tried to kill President Ronald Reagan will not play his music in Athens, after all. John Hinckley tweeted earlier this week that he had been booked to play an October concert at the World Famous. Now the club on Hull Street in Athens, responding to a backlash of criticism, has uninvited Hinkley, who spent more than four decades behind bars after the assassination attempt that happened in March of 1981.
From the World Famous…
“After listening to some of the response to yesterday’s show announcement and gathering more information, we’ve decided not to John Hinckley come to Athens on October 27.
“It was never the intention to cause harm in the community or to offend anyone.
“We apologize for being ignorant to the implications of the show.”
