The Boston Celtics eliminated the Atlanta Hawks from the NBA playoffs on Thursday, but not in time to save Janet Jackson's concert.
Due to the Hawks forcing a Game 6 in their first-round series back home in Atlanta, the Grammy Award-winning pop star was forced to delay a concert previously scheduled for Thursday in State Farm Arena. The "Together Again" show is now scheduled to be held Friday.
Such are the risks of booking a concert in an NBA arena during the NBA playoffs, but Celtics star Jayson Tatum still issued a public apology to Jackson for not being able to save her concert date.
