The New York State Office of General Services, which organizes the annual July 4 festivities at the Empire State Plaza, will need a new headliner for this year's edition on Thursday.
Grammy winner Bruce Hornsby and his current band, the Noisemakers, have cancelled due to Hornsby coming down with a case of laryngitis, leaving him unable to perform at this year's event.

The program will still go on from 5-10 pm on Thursday, with a headliner to be announced.
===============================================
Embattled former NY Mayor and US Attorney Rudy Giuliani has been disbarred in New York due to his persistent and false claims that the 2020 election was stolen from former president Donald Trump.
In all probability, Giuliani will likely be disbarred elsewhere as well. Should've stayed retired, Rudy.
===================================================
Speaking of Trump, the US Supreme Court ruled on Monday that the former president has limited immunity from prosecution for official acts undertaken while in office.
Trump's ambulance chasers are now trying to argue that his 34 felony convictions in the Stormy Daniels hush money case should be overturned, claiming that some of the payments were made while he was in office.
I doubt that very, very seriously. Trump may not have had the entire ruling read to him, or his limited intellect tells him that he got what he wanted. Well, not all of it. In other words, the horse already left the barn on the Daniels case, so, with sentencing due on July 11, Trump is trying to avoid whatever punishment awaits him. Given his advanced age, probation seems likely, although any confinement needed would be in someplace like a psychiatric hospital. Just sayin'.
