Rod Stewart Turns Down Saudi Arabia Gig “To Shine A Light On The Injustices There”

Rod Stewart says that he turned down an offer to play a show in Saudi Arabia. “I’m grateful that I have a choice whether or not to perform in Saudi Arabia,” a statement from Stewart reads. “So many citizens there have extremely limited choices – women, the LGBTQ community, the press. I’d like my choice not to go … to shine a light on the injustices there and ignite positive change.”
