The Boston Pops Fireworks Spectacular was back Monday for the first time since the coronavirus pandemic, and it did not disappoint!
, the long wait was worth it to get to see the queen of funk perform with America’s orchestra: the Boston Pops.
“Any chance I get to come back to Boston I’m really happy,” said 10-time Grammy Award-winning singer Chaka Khan.“To get to perform the Boston Pops has been a dream of mine since I was a kid,” said Colon. “To get to do something like this and to do it on our nation’s birthday is pretty spectacular.”Also performing was Tony and Grammy Award-winner Heather Headley.
“They had me at ‘this is the first time in three years.’ So, I was like, ‘you’re coming back? I’m coming with you,’ because I just think it’s a beautiful thing for us all to be back together within space – within 6-feet of each other – hugging each other and celebrating this day and celebrating it like this,” Headley said.
