For What it’s Worth, Frank Sinatra Also Would Not Have Played at the Trump Inauguration

President-Elect Donald Trump is seemingly having a lot of trouble finding performers for his inauguration. So far, he’s only confirmed Jackie Evancho from America’s Got Talent, the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, the Rockettes, and the Talladega College Marching bags. The list of people who won’t play seems to be getting longer and longer.  Add to that list someone who is no longer with us- Frank Sinatra.

Last night, someone tweeted at his daughter Nancy Sinatra to ask whether he would play at the inauguration if it had been offered to him. Sinatra gave a definitive no, saying “he would never support a bigot.”

Not that it was going to come up, but for what it’s worth, now we know how it would have played out. Two weeks left!
