Unfortunately, I can’t say I didn’t see this coming. I was literally having this conversation with some of my colleagues a few moments ago, debating on whether or not this event would actually happen. Well, it turns out it’s been offed. Rumor has it that the powers that be immediately killed the event once the address was announced.

The benefit concert planned for Friday at which rapper Chief Keef was to appear via hologram at a theater in the Pilsen neighborhood has been canceled.
A city source confirmed Thursday that the concert scheduled at the Redmoon Theater was canceled. Jim Lasko, Redmoon’s executive artistic director, and Frank Maugeri, the producing artistic director, did not respond to requests for comment.
