Boyz II Men concert cancelled for 4th of July; group to play in Ohio
Grammy award winning group Boyz II Men will not be performing at Saturday's Fourth of July celebration in Brownsville.
Their performance has been canceled due to "unforeseen circumstances," Brownsville City officials said in a press release.
The Brownsville Herald was told that Boyz II Men will be performing in Dublin, Ohio instead. A contract between the City of Dublin and Boyz II Men's booking agent was signed three months ago, a Dublin city spokeswoman said.
Meanwhile, Brownsville Ciity Park's Director Chris Patterson said he is trying to get in contact with the Boyz II Men booking agent to find out more details as to why the all male trio will not be performing on Saturday.
The group was to perform at the Brownsville Sports Park off Merryman Road. The concert was to be free to the public.
Boyz II Men hits include "End of the Road," ‘Motown Philly" and "I'll Make Love to You." They also sang a duet with Mariah Carey, titled "One Sweet Day."
Sandra Puskarcik, director of community relations for the City of Dublin, said a letter of intent with ICM, the booking agency for Boyz II Men, was sent in April and the contract was finalized at the end of April.
Dublin is paying Boyz II Men $35,000 to perform at its Fourth of July celebration, Puskarcik said.
