Who was the first band/musician to be "cancelled" in the way we think of it today? (zerobytes.monster)

I know the Dixie Chicks made everyone super mad in 2003 for dissing George W, got kicked off radio stations, people filming themselves destroying their CDs, etc, despite being very popular at the time. This is the earliest example of a more modern looking "cancellation" that I am aware of. Are there any other notable earlier instances of a really people artist or band being shitcanned like this over one thing they said?
