Orange mayor cancels Queen tribute show, leaving hundreds of volunteer singers without stage

The mayor of Orange, Jean-Dominique Artaud, a member of the far-right National Rally (RN) party, has cancelled a musical spectacle dedicated to the band Queen that was scheduled for September 4. The city hall cited budgetary reasons for the cancellation, which has left hundreds of volunteer choristers without a stage to perform on. The decision has sparked controversy, as the event was a community-driven project involving many local participants.
