Sorry, Vanilla Ice. The “Freedom 250” concerts scheduled for the National Mall in Washington, D.C. have been officially canceled by President Donald J. Trump, after almost all of the artists bailed. The shows will be replaced, as he previously suggested, with a rally featuring one of his own speeches as the principal attraction.

The event Trump is promising will not be altogether without music, however. Trump says that he will be introduced by the MAGA movement’s most reliable musical stalwart, ’80s country hitmaker Lee Greenwood.
