Beyond his credits in the world of entertainment, Kris Kristofferson was also a fervent activist, standing up for the rights of workers, immigrants, and farmers.
Not just one to talk the talk, Kristofferson also walked the walk, proving his allyship after Sinéad O’Connor was booed at a Bob Dylan tribute concert following her divisive appearance on Saturday Night Live.
Stepping on stage to console his fellow musician, he told her, “Don’t let the bastards get you down,” and cheered her on for her set.
At this time, our thoughts and condolences are with Kris Kristofferson’s loved ones.
