![]() NEW YORK (AP) — Stevie Wonder says he won't perform in Florida and other states with a "stand your ground" law. In a video posted on YouTube, the 63-year-old singer said at a concert in Quebec City, Canada, on Sunday "that until the 'stand your ground' law is abolished in Florida, I will never perform there again." Wonder added: "Wherever I find that law exists, I will not perform in that state or in that part of the world." The "stand your ground" law allows people to use deadly force if they believe their life is in danger. George Zimmerman shot 17-year-old Trayvon Martin during a February 2012 confrontation in Sanford, Fla. Zimmerman said he fired his gun in self-defense. A six-member jury acquitted Zimmerman of second-degree murder and manslaughter charges on Saturday. Wonder's representative said the singer had no further comment. I'm sure millions are heart broke over this news. ![]() |

It's a shame he won't be playing in FL again, because FL isn't going to repeal a law voted for by its citizens just to hear another hater sing.
We still have plenty of talent, GREAT talent to keep us entertained. Sux to be you Stevie.... and I used to appreciate you.....shame you are blind in more ways than just your sight..... The sad part is, the stand your ground defense wasn't even a defense issue in the trial |
