LEADING INTERNATIONAL ARTIST PITBULL REACTS TO ARIZONA'S SB1070 BY CANCELING SHOW IN PHOENIX  

LOS ANGELES (May 13, 2010)... Top global hitmaker, Pitbull, announced this afternoon via Twitter and his website (www.PlanetPit.com) his decision to cancel the May 31 date of his "Mr. Worldwide's Carnaval" tour in Phoenix, AZ in protest of the recent passing of the state's controversial  SB1070 legislation.  In his heartfelt Tweet, he stated, "I am canceling my concert in Phoenix on May 31. How is the country we enjoy and love bcuz of its human rights, freedom, opportunity and that has been built by immigrants, now start 2 deny them? It is contradicting 2 everything the USA stands 4." Pitbull joins other top artists, politicians, community leaders and citizens in expressing their disapproval of the new law.
