Mel C "wouldn't be comfortable" performing at Qatar World Cup

Melanie C would not be comfortable performing at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar as an LGBTQ+ ally. The host nation has faced widespread condemnation over its views on homosexuality, women's rights, and migrant workers who built the stadiums for the tournament. Several artists have distanced themselves from the World cup, including Dua Lipa and Rod Stewart. David Beckham has received criticism for his reported £10m deal to serve as ambassador for World Cups. Joel Lycett donated £ 10k to queer charities after threatening to shred Beckham's magazine cover if he didn't end the sponsorship deal. Robbie Williams defended his decision to perform at this year's World cups.
