Backstreet Boys and Korn may not have much in common in terms of their music but they are both backing the boycott of British Petroleum (BP) during their tours. The two groups have announced that they will not be refueling at any of the companies stations while using their tour buses.
Korn frontman, Jonathan Davis stated, "We need to do our part to let BP know there are consequences for causing something like this. We want to send a message to corporations like BP so that they will take more preventative measures in the future."
Nick Carter of the Backstreet Boys was profoundly affected during a recent performance in Biloxi, Mississipi after witnessing the effects of the oil spill first hand. After seeing the animals covered in oil, Nick spoke of his heartbreak at the sight.
Made by scientists there are new claims that the oil spill is perhaps double what what first estimated, as noted by Seth Borenstein on Yahoo news. With the initial blast having killed 11 workers and BP stocks only sinking further, the company is definitely swimming in the deep end.
With all the environmental issues the world is already facing, BP have been caught at a time when the public concerns are only rising. Rock and pop may not always mix too well in the music world, but it seems they make a better concoction than the oil and water floating in the Gulf of Mexico. This may be the start of a worldwide boycott.
