Queen B may not have control of the RER B, but the American metro does! In concert in Washington DC on Sunday evening, the American star was forced to start his concert more than two hours late, due to the extreme weather conditions that were beating down on the city.
Only problem, the American subway does not run all night, and should have closed when the concert ended. It was without counting on the generosity of the singer, who spent no less than 100,000 dollars in order to extend the transport offer by one more hour. His fans, sometimes from all over the country, were able to return safe and sound by train or metro, thanks to the 98 stations that remained specially open at the end of the show.
“After the show ended, Beyoncé stepped in to provide her fans with an extra hour of train service to ensure concertgoers got home safely,” ABC News reported.
This is not the first time that the singer at the 32 Grammy Awards has faced transport problems. Earlier this year, the 41-year-old star had to postpone his Parisian dates at the Stade de France due to works on the RER B line. The postponement sparked strong reactions from French fans, forcing the president of the Île region -de-France, Valérie Pécresse, to express herself on this subject.
Currently on tour for his new album, the interpreter of Crazy in Love and You won’t break my soul, will complete his Renaissance World Tour in Kansas City, Missouri, on October 1st.
