Watch Foo Fighters Cut ‘Everlong’ & NYC Concert Short Due To Lightning

Foo Fighters had to cut their concert at Citi Field in New York City short due to an incoming storm with dangerous lightning. The band was in the middle of “Everlong” when a crew member informed frontman Dave Grohl to pull the plug.

Ahead of song 13 in the set, “Learn to Fly,” Grohl informed the audience of dangerous weather on the horizon. Following the There is Nothing Left to Lose favorite, Grohl said, “Alright, we’re gonna do one more…and wait this fuckin’ shit out. If we can come back, you fuckin’ know we will, right? You know we will if we can. So let’s do this shit before it gets weird.”

Dave then launched into “Everlong,” which is traditionally the band’s concert closer. But about 30 seconds in, a crew member ran out onstage to deliver the news that the music had to stop. Watch the events unfold below:

Fans were moved to Citi Field’s concourse and the announcement that the show would not proceed came down about an hour later. Foo Fighters issued a statement. Read below:

Foo Fighters did deliver a number of fan favorites before the concert was cut short including “Pretender,” “Walk,” “Times Like These” and “My Hero.” They also offered a cut off their latest album But Here We Are, “Rescued.”
