Pat Benatar will no longer perform ‘Hit Me With Your Best Shot’ due to mass shootings
Pat Benatar has said she will no longer perform her hit song ‘Hit Me With Your Best Shot’ out of respect for the families of the victims of mass shootings that have occurred in America this year.In an interview with USA Today surrounding her current tour, Benatar, 69, said that though the song’s title is “tongue-in-cheek”, a line has to be drawn. “We’re not doing ‘Hit Me With Your Best Shot’ and fans are having a heart attack and I’m like, I’m sorry, in deference to the victims of the families of these mass shootings, I’m not singing it.
