Bad Weather Cuts NYC Homecoming Concert Short

ABC News reports:

This time, Barry Manilow didn’t make it through the rain. 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 canceled because of dangerous weather as Hurricane Henri approached the Northeast on Saturday.

Manilow 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. Organizers repeated over public address for concertgoers to “calmly move to the nearest exits and proceed to areas outside of the park.”
