R Kelly dropped from Ohio music festival following backlash

Controversial singer R Kelly has been dropped from the line-up of a music festival in Ohio, following an outcry about his past that include allegations of possessing images of child abuse.
The "Ignition" singer was due to perform at the Fashion Meets Music Festival in Columbus on 29 August but both he and the festival organisers released statements to Columbus Alive on Tuesday night to announce his departure.
A statement from the festival read: “Fashion Meets Music Festival and headlining artist R Kelly have come to the mutual decision to cancel Kelly's upcoming performance at the inaugural Fashion Meets Music Festival.”
The publicist for Kelly said: “R Kelly is sorry to disappoint his fans, but looks forward to seeing them in the near future during one of his upcoming tours.”
Although the decision is described as “mutual”, it comes after a backlash over Kelly’s planned attendance at the event.
