| Drake's free concert erupts into chaos |
Rapper Drake decided to celebrate the release of his new album Thank Me Later with a free concert at the South Street Seaport in lower Manhattan yesterday.
Unfortunately, he never went on.
What was expected to be a cast of 10,000 fans at the concert, which also featured pop trio Hanson, exploded to 25,000 fans, resulting in the NYPD declaring the area unsafe for the show to continue. What happened next was pure chaos, as people standing on the balcony at Pier 17 threw bottles and even a chair down at the crowd below. In retaliation, people on the ground began throwing items up at the people on the balcony. Two people were arrested for disorderly conduct and the area was eventually evacuated.
Drake apologized for not being able to perform on his Twitter: "I am so disappointed. To all the devoted fans who came out I wish you could've seen what I had planned. Until next time."
Earlier in the day, Drake appeared at the Union Square Best Buy to sign copies of his album. 500 people attended the event.
Thank Me Later is Drake's first studio album and is currently sitting at #1 on the iTunes album chart.
