Musician Stevie Wonder performed a free concert in Central Park Monday night ahead of the final leg of his "Songs in the Key of Life" tour this fall.
"It's awesome, a once-in-a-lifetime event," said one fan attending the concert.
Tickets online sold out in less than a minute. Wonder took the stage only for a few songs, but people were thrilled to listen.
Caleb Silver of Harlem said he and his daughter have dance parties to Steve Wonder's music each week. On Monday night, she got the real thing.
"He's a legend. I've been lucky to see him, and I wanted her to see him," said Silver.
The concert was the third of three pop-up shows Monday. He performed at Armory Mall in Washington, D.C. in the morning, before heading to Philadelphia in the afternoon for a show at Dilworth Park. His final stop was the SummerStage in Central Park.
The "Songs in the Key of Life" tour will be the last time he performs from the album in the U.S. He said he plans to head back to the recording studio after the 20-stop tour.
