John Hinckley Jr.'s Music Career Thwarted by Gig Cancellations

Attributing the setbacks to 'cancel culture', the former convict struggles to find a stage for his folk music performances.

John Hinckley Jr., once convicted for the attempted assassination of Ronald Reagan, faces repeated cancellations of his music gigs, attributing it to 'cancel culture'.
Since his unconditional release in 2022, Hinckley has attempted to carve out a career as a folk musician, but venues frequently cancel his shows due to backlash.
Hinckley's efforts to perform often coincide with significant dates, such as the planned concert on the 43rd anniversary of the Reagan assassination attempt.
Despite the cancellations, Hinckley remains undeterred, sharing his music online and considering opening his own venue to avoid cancellations.
Critics and some media outlets question Hinckley's claim of being a victim of 'cancel culture', pointing to the gravity of his past actions.
