1968: A riot erupts in Chicago’s Grant Park when Sly & the Family Stone fail to show up for a free concert. This is only one of many late or cancelled appearances for the band.
The group tries to capitalize of the event by releasing an album titled There’s a Riot Goin’ On. The album yields the hit single “Family Affair” and goes on to million-seller status, but the damage to the band’s reputation and popularity never goes away. By January of 1975, the group breaks up following dismal attendance at a concert at Radio City Music Hall.
2002: Paul McCartney gets married for the second time. His bride is a former model and activist for the disabled, Heather Mills at St. Salvator Church in Glaslough, Ireland.
Ringo Starr, Elton John, David Gilmour and Chrissie Hynde are among the guests in attendance.
This one didn't do as well as the first for Sir Paul. The British public especially disliked his bride. The couple would divorce just 6 years later.
