Foo Fighters were forced to cut their July 17 show at Citi Field in Queens, NY short due to severe weather, which included lightning . The band were only able to make it through 13 songs and the intro to “Everlong” before pulling the plug. The group issued the following statement:
“We are so disappointed that we were unable to play our full set for tonight’s fantastic crowd at Citi Field. But the safety of our fans, the crew and everyone working in the stadium comes first, so when it was determined that there was no safe way to continue the show in this dangerous weather, we had no choice but to call it a night. We’re grateful for every second we were able to play for you and looking forward to seeing you again — maybe as soon as Friday!”
