Amanda Palmer's concert at National Sawdust has been canceled following complaints linked to allegations against her husband, Neil Gaiman, who faces serious sexual assault accusations. Palmer had planned her first shows after these allegations came to light but has now faced backlash, leading the venue's Board to decide against hosting the event. National Sawdust’s managing director emphasized the importance of community voices in this decision, reflecting the complex nature of the situation surrounding Palmer and Gaiman.
"I'm leaving my cave," Palmer said in an Instagram video announcing the shows. "I hope you come because I need to play music, and I want you to hear music."
Ana De Archuleta, managing director of National Sawdust, stated, "Your voice matters. After careful consideration, National Sawdust has decided not to present the May 17 event."
De Archuleta confirmed that the Board decided not to move forward with the show once they learned of the complex situation surrounding the artist.
Gaiman, known for "The Sandman" series, was accused in a podcast of sexually assaulting multiple women, followed by extensive allegations in New York magazine.
