Jason Isabel and Amanda Shire say they are leaving their country music association membership after failing to recognize the deaths of John Preen and many other artists at the 2020 CMA Awards.
“On the last night of CMA, John Na Preen, Jerry Jeff Walker and Billy Joe Shaver, not to mention due to the failure of @ Country Music, @ Mandashire and I have decided to return our membership cards,” Isabel said. Wrote Via Twitter on Thursday when he announced he would hand over his lifetime appointments.
Preen died in April at the age of 73, following a coronavirus contract in March.
During the broadcast, late country stars Charlie Daniels, Kenny Rogers and the same Dif Duffy paid tribute to everyone.

Fellow countryman Greg Freeman tried to argue with Isabel and asked if he thought of staying in order to bring about change from within the machine.
“Wouldn’t it be better to work to maintain your membership and make a difference as a member?” Freeman Inquiry. “Calling it quit doesn’t shake things up. Use your power as an influential artist and voting member, though.”

However, Isabel did not take the bait.
“I think my energy is best spent elsewhere,” he replied, to which Freeman replied that he respected Isabel’s determination.

“Well, I argue that sometimes you just have to walk from there. Some organizations are not open to changing the status quo or listening to different perspectives, ”Freeman said, according to People magazine. “(Speaking of Trump, he has a long history of firing anyone who would tickle him or dare to challenge his idea.”)
In a statement to Fox News on Friday, the Country Music Association said: “The historically broadcast CMA Awards does not include the In Memory segment.
John Preney’s wife Fiana spoke after his death, urging everyone to take the coronavirus ‘seriously’.
The memo continues: “To identify the people we lost each year, the CMA includes an in-memorial tribute on our website and in our annual CMA Awards program guide, which was mailed to CMA members prior to this year’s broadcast. Notably, this year’s Memorial includes those lost before the October 14, 2020, printing deadline for the Program Guide. “
Meanwhile, in a recent Instagram video with the caption, “Don’t distort it,” the country’s standout Sturgel Simpson echoes the same sentiment, Rolling Stone said.
