Sarah McLachlan took a stand for free speech while opting out of performing at the premiere of the ABC News Studios doc Lilith Fair: Building a Mystery. McLachlan, 57, and Jewel were scheduled to perform at the Los Angeles event on Sunday, September 21. According to Variety, ABC News Studios announced one day prior that there would no longer be a red carpet, noting in an email, "We appreciate your willingness to attend and apologize for any inconvenience this may cause." No reason was specified for the cancellation.
