Paul Anka bows out of Trump inauguration to spend the day with his son

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

After news broke this week that Paul Anka would be singing his version of “My Way” at the inauguration of Donald Trump, the former pop star has now said that he will not be attending.

TMZ reports that Anka pulled out of doing it not for political reasons but because of family concerns.

“I’ve been in a custody battle for two years for my son Ethan,” Anka said on video. “We have a new schedule now and we’re unable to do it.”

He explained that the reason he intended to do the performance was out of respect for the office, never for political reasons.

1. Oh My!

Now that My way is gone, who sings '...or the highway'?

2. There is something perversely Republican about a 74 year-old man being in

a custody battle.

3. He probably didn't expect all the flak he got.

A poor excuse is sometimes better than none.

5. I'm not the greatest Paul Anka fan but I give him credit for pulling out of the Trump Urinauguration

6. The old "family concerns", LOL that excuse is a classic.. nt

7. Ah yes... the always convenient family time.

I'm guessing he might suddenly realized that a whole lotta people HATE Cheeto Benito.

8. He suddenly remembered he had child visitation on the 20th

No work around. No rain check. LOL

9. It's looking better for Ted all the time.

I'm thinking a dramatic reading of "Wang Dang Sweet Poontang" accompanied by Jon Voight and The Chair. Your fans would love it, Don. Trust me.

10. The real reason:

Trump didn't like the way Anka retooled "My Way"
