Ke$ha’s ‘Die Young’ pulled from radio stations, singer responds

Since last week’s’ tragic shooting at a school in Newtown connecticut many televisions stations, movie producers and now radio stations are re-evaluating what they decide to air and when. Since Friday’s shooting that claimed the lives of twenty young children many radio stations have decided to pull Ke$ha’s new hit song “Die Young” according to Billboard magazine. The song, which had been at No. 3 on the Hot 10, is about seizing the moment but features a line about living “like we’re gonna die young.”
The singer understands that the lyrics could be seen as insensitive in light of the tragedy taking to Twitter to say: “I understand. I had my very own issue with ‘die young’ for this reason. I did NOT want to sing those lyrics and I was FORCED TO. I’m so sorry for anyone who has been effected by this tragedy and I understand why my song is now inappropriate. words cannot express.”
