Comment: Wyclef Jean replacing Willie

The third time’s the charm — after two previous artists fell through, hip-hop artist Wyclef Jean will perform in Tampa, Florida during the Republican National Convention as the headliner of a non-partisan gala. Jean, formerly of The Fugees, will perform at the private concert fundraiser for Got Your 6 and Lifetime Television’s “Your Life. Your Time. Your Vote.” campaign, on August 29th.

The organizations had originally booked country legend Willie Nelson for the RNC gig, but he eventually pulled out, though Nelson stated he still supports the “Got Your 6″ campaign. Next to be booked was Randy Travis, whose arrest on drunk driving charges in Texas scuttled that plan.
