Danny states that “I didn’t know anything because we were in the back doing a sound check and the front part of the building was blocked off,” he said. “They said that it was something that had occurred. We really didn’t know what was going on ’til they cut the show.”
A fan that long awaited this day stated “Kind of shaken up. Sad for all the work that happened and was involved, but also just sad that this happens,” said Cathleen Himes, who was supposed to attend the event at City Winery.
