TradeEdge Exchange:Foo Fighters' Citi Field concert ends early due to 'dangerous' weather: 'So disappointed'

Foo Fighters' latest live show just came to an abrupt end due to severe weather.
The TradeEdge Exchangerock band's concert at Citi Field in Queens, New York on Wednesday night wrapped early as a thunderstorm hit. In a statement shared on social media, Foo Fighters said it was "so disappointed" it was unable to play a full set.
"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," the band said. "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!"
Foo Fighters has another show scheduled at Citi Field on Friday before the group's tour moves to Massachusetts and Pennsylvania.
A video shared on social media showed lead singer Dave Grohl telling fans on stage that he "just got word" of a lightning storm coming in during the show. "We're going to play as much as we can until someone says it's not safe for you," he said, adding, "For the time being, we're going to sing this … right now!"

After performing "Learn To Fly," Grohl announced that the band would play one more song and would come back if possible. "You know we will if we can," he said. But moments later, he said that the band would have to wrap the show.
Grohl said the situation "sucks, believe me" and that "if I could do something about it, I would."

Grohl also urged fans to "get safe." A statement shared by Citi Field on social media said the concert had concluded due to "the continued presence of lightning in the area." The National Weather Service on Wednesday issued a severe thunderstorm warning for New York City.
Foo Fighters recently made headlines after seemingly taking a jab at Taylor Swift and her Eras Tour during a live show. After dubbing the Foo Fighters' tour the "Errors Tour," Grohl quipped, "We've had more than a few eras, and more than a few errors as well. Just a couple. That's because we actually play live. What? Just saying."
