Leona Lewis Shelved Harrods Gig Over Animal Fur
Share

Leona Lewis decided against opening the Harrods Winter Sale last year because the London department store stocked fur.

Lewis pulled out of her scheduled appearance because of her vegetarian beliefs – although a Harrods spokesperson told the BBC it was “due to a scheduling clash.”

Reports claimed Lewis was offered £1million to open the sale, which is one of the store's premiere yearly events.

But the spokesperson said it was “at least a tenth of what has been reported.”

In the past, the former X-Factor winner has spoken proudly of her vegetarianism, and insisted that she doesn't buy anything made from animal products.
