The 'Homecoming Concert” in New York City's Central Park was cut short because of dangerous weather as Hurricane Henri approached the Northeast.
Unlike the Grammy-winning recording artist’s 1980 hit, “I Made It Through Rain,” the superstar-laden “Homecoming Concert” in New York City’s Central Park was cut short because of dangerous weather asManilow began performing “Can’t Smile Without You,” as part of a medley of his hits when the announcement interrupted his performance, ordering concert-goers to immediately leave the park and seek shelter. The singer continued on, not realizing at first what was happening.
Mayor Bill de Blasio later tweeted, “While it’s disappointing that tonight’s concert had to end early, the safety of everyone in attendance had to come first.” While the headliners were not able to perform, the abruptly-ended show still provided some standout performances. The eclectic lineup also featured some “old school” hip hop with Melle Mel dusting off the Grandmaster Flash classic “The Message.” Busta Rhymes performed “Put Your Hands Where My Eyes Could See.”In one of the evening’s most spirited performances, a group of backup singers hummed the iconic opening of “Mama Said Knock You Out” as a lively LL Cool J wearing mint green sweats and yellow kicks emerged through them with a rousing version of the song that sent the crowd in hyperdrive.
