Not again: Cee Lo Green does not have much luck at Lollapalooza lately. The "Forget You" singer, who was booed during his Lollapalooza set in 2011, was putting on a much better show Thursday at the Soul Electronics-sponsored party in the Hard Rock Hotel's Fender Ballroom but then said he couldn’t play the last song due to equipment malfunction.
He spent the last few minutes of the show, which began with a set by R&B singer Miguel and was attended by rapper Twista and “Mob Wives Chicago” cast member Pia Rizza, talking to the crowd and taking photos with them, likely because he was scheduled to play until 2 am and needed to stall. “I’m scared they’re going to take my money back from me now,” Green told the audience.
Earlier in the day, Green had lunch at Manny's Cafeteria & Delicatessen in the South Loop. He ordered the corned beef reuben sandwich and took a photo with owners with Matt and Dan Raskin.
