"Dead & Company go on with its June 10 North Carolina show and donate $100,000 to LGBT organizations instead of boycotting the state for passing House Bill 2, as some other entertainers have.
In a statement posted on their Facebook page Thursday, band members said they deliberated on whether they should cancel their Charlotte show to send a message against HB 2 but decided donating money was the "most effective way to move forward." Dead & Company includes former Grateful Dead members, along with pop singer John Mayer."
