The Sharpe Family Singers gave an impromptu airport performance after being stranded while travelling to two concerts during a nationwide ground stop.
The family singing group performed “Into the Unknown” for fellow passengers at New Airport, where they were among thousands of people affected by the disruption.
The Federal Aviation Administration had issued a ground stop affecting airports across the country because of “extraordinary circumstances” and safety concerns. Although the restriction was lifted on Friday evening, delays and cancellations continued.
The disruption forced the postponement of the group’s Saturday show in Fort Lauderdale, while its Sunday performance was cancelled.
In a message to disappointed fans, the group said: “We are so incredibly sorry!!! Unfortunately, this is out of our control, and we’re just as disappointed as you are.”
The Sharpe Family Singers said audiences could still see them perform in Somerville, New Jersey, on December 4, and at the Philadelphia Thanksgiving Day parade.
