\n The Blues Brothers, the musical comedy duo of Jim Belushi and Dan Aykroyd, have withdrawn from two upcoming fundraisers they were set to headline due to the SAG-AFTRA strike. They were scheduled to play at Oceana\u2019s Rock Under the Stars event on Aug. 12 and the Los Angeles Regional\u00a0Food\u00a0Bank\u2019s\u00a0\u201cA Million Reasons\u201d\u00a0Celebration\u00a0on Aug. 13. <\/p>\n

\n \u201cJim Belushi and I are heartsick at having to withdraw from performing as the Blues Brothers for the Oceana and Los Angeles Regional Food Bank charities,\u201d Aykroyd said in a statement. \u201cWe had no choice as SAG-AFTRA restrictions clearly delineate a prohibition against presenting characters from TV and films at concerts and conventions.\u00a0We are sad to miss these most worthwhile events but must stand in solidarity with the union membership.\u201d <\/p>\n

\n The Blues Brothers originated from a Saturday Night Live<\/em> skit beginning in 1978, later becoming a film directed by John Landis in 1980. According to SAG\u2019s strike guidelines, the union\u2019s 160,000 affected members are prohibited from all principal on-camera work, as well as participating in promotional activity including conventions, premieres, interviews, festivals, FYC events, award shows and podcasts.\u00a0Charity events have been largely safe from strike cancelations so far, but the Blues Brothers in a rare circumstance of app<\/a>earing as characters rather than as themselves. <\/p>\n

\n In their place, Gladys Knight will now headline both events ahead of her Hollywood Bowl show on Aug. 15. Confirmed attendees at the Oceana event include Ted Danson, Woody Harrelson, Mary Steenburgen and Sam Waterston, with the Food Bank event expected to feature Danson, Steenburgen, Waterston, Jeff Goldblum and Dylan McDermott as celebrity sous chefs for the cause. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
