NEW YORK -- The sounds of song will be ringing out from Central Park on Saturday, with thousands expected for a superstar-laden concert that was meant to celebrate New York City's recovery from the coronavirus. Bruce Springsteen, Paul Simon, Jennifer Hudson, Carlos Santana, LL Cool J and Andrea Bocelli are among the performers at what is being billed as the “Homecoming Concert." Saturday's event comes after a series of hip-hop concerts in the last week at outdoor venues around the city. Despite the joyful intention, the concert is taking place when there are worries about the contagious delta variant of COVID-19.
