Post-Tribune staff report
GARY – An R & B concert delayed by a power outage at the Genesis Convention Center last month has been rescheduled for Friday.
Rhythm and blues recording artist Chris Brown came to the city Wednesday and met with Mayor Rudy Clay who declared Friday “Chris Brown Day.”
Brown had been scheduled to perform in Gary on July 5 until the 5:30 p.m. outage left angry fans standing in line for the show. The outage affected a three-block area that included The Steel Yard baseball stadium. No reason has been given for the outage.
Doors to the rescheduled Friday show open at 5:30 p.m., with the concert scheduled to begin at 7 p.m.
Brown rose quickly on the R & B charts. At age 16, his self-titled debut album made him the youngest person to take the top spot on the Billboard Top 100.

August 26th, 2007 at 10:48 am Getting an honorary day in your name is basically like getting “the key to the city”, August 24th is considered Chris Brown Day in that city. |
