A major music star had to cancel a show in Phoenix
because his flight didn't make it here
and fans just have to deal with it.
Andrew Christensen is live in downtown Phoenix with
the latest tonight. Hi Andrew.
Hey Brian, a lot of people here at the Hondo Rodeo Fest are having
a lot of fun. There are vendors here,
there were animals here, people listening to bands and just
having a lot of fun. And even though yesterday was fun,
Tim McGraw, like you said, unfortunately
He unfortunately had to cancel his concert.
A lot of people were left disappointed,
but the organizers here say that Tim McGraw was not able to make it
because of yesterday's nationwide FAA ground stop.
To accommodate for Tim McGraw's absence,
Hondo Rodeo Fest organizers extended Miranda Lambert's performance.
And people I talked to who went to the concert say they only found out
while they were already in Chase Field,
which is where the concert was at.
Many people say they were sad
that they didn't get to see Tim McGraw perform.
Tim McGraw did something really huge,
and you look forward to that, and it's really disappointing,
and it was kind of like a letdown, you know?
They weren't able to make up for it.
I was glad Miranda Lambert played.
She did great, but I didn't get everything I paid for out of it.
And Blake Shelton is performing tonight.
Like I said, a lot of people having fun here.
There were some horses here, people riding horses,
people buying stuff like merchandise, clothes.
So a lot of fun here still at the Hondo Rodeo Fest.
Reporting live in downtown Phoenix, Andrew Christensen, Fox 10 News.
All right, at least the show goes on.
Thank you, Andrew.
