"Sarah McLachlan was the musical guest on the Tuesday, September 23rd return of Jimmy Kimmel Live! to air. The late night appearance came just days after she refused to perform at a concert in an act of solidarity over the host's recent suspension, citing the need to support free speech. While seated at a piano, McLachlan delivered an emotional rendition of the title track from her new album, Better Broken."
"I've grappled with being here tonight and around what to say about the present situation that we are all faced with, the stark contraction to the many advances we've made watching the insidious erosion of women's rights, of trans and queer rights, the muzzling of free speech... I know you're expecting a performance tonight, and I'm so grateful to all of you for coming, and I apologize if this is disappointing, but we have collectively decided not to perform but instead to stand in solidarity in support of free speech."
Sarah McLachlan performed the title track from her new album Better Broken on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Tuesday, September 23. The appearance followed her withdrawal from a Lilith Fair–tied concert connected to a documentary premiere, a protest that also involved Jewel and Olivia Rodrigo and resulted in the concert's cancellation. McLachlan cited erosion of women's, trans, and queer rights and concerns about the muzzling of free speech as reasons for the decision. Jimmy Kimmel delivered an emotional monologue addressing FCC pressure over his comments. McLachlan is touring Canada and planning a US Better Broken tour.
