Legendary R&B singer Patti LaBelle and Chicago-born rapper Common are expected to perform at the Democratic National Convention on Tuesday.
Legendary R&B singer Patti LaBelle and Chicago-born rapper Common are among the musicians set take the stage at the United Center on the second night of the 2024 Democratic National Convention in Chicago.
Both artists were spotted rehearsing on stage earlier in the day, following a lineup of artists who performed on the convention’s opening night that included country singer Mickey Guyton and Americana artist Jason Isbell.
James Taylor, originally slated to perform on the first night, was cut from the program due to time constraints that saw President Joe Biden take the stage in the 11 p.m. hour on the East Coast. It remains unclear whether Taylor will be added back to the DNC schedule Tuesday or in the coming days.
LaBelle, an eight-time Grammy Award winner known for hits like „New Attitude“ and „Lady Marmalade“, has a long history of supporting Democratic causes.
