Mayor Bill de Blasio, taking the stage at a «Welcome Back NYC» concert, was inundated with boos from some in the crowd hours before the star-studded musical event that drew thousands of attendees required to show proof of vaccination before entering was cut short due to lightning. Video showed de Blasio, with his wife, Chirlane McCray, speaking on stage at Central Park’s Great Lawn. «I want you to thank Clive Davis for making this possible,» de Blasio said, acknowledging the 89-year-old music executive who spent weeks producing the concert meant to signal the return of city life. De Blasio had to speak over boos from some in the crowd. Even as one young man gestured thumbs down not far from the stage, the mayor continued speaking seemingly unaffected by the crowd’s reaction, touting that «75% of all New Yorkers are vaccinated now.
