Jay-Z along with Alicia Keys will open up the festivities tomorrow night by performing the song “Empire State of Mind” before Game#2 of the World Series.
They were originally scheduled to perform tonight, but the inclement weather has pushed them back one day. A statement from Jay-Z and Major League Baseball reads: “The performance was changed due to the forecast for inclement weather for Wednesday, October 28.”
“Staging for the performance could adversely impact the field if it is wet, creating damaged and unsafe playing conditions.” Jay-Z said of the performance, “As a die-hard Yankee fan, I’m honored to perform a song that celebrates the greatness of New York in one of our city’s most important landmarks, Yankee Stadium.”
