Detroit's musical icons, such as Diana Ross, Eminem, and Jack White, came together for a spectacular concert celebrating the reopening of Detroit's historic train station after years of neglect. The event, "Live From Detroit: The Concert at Michigan Central," marked the rebirth of the 18-story structure that once symbolized the city's decline. Ford Motor Co.'s purchase of the station in 2018 signaled a new era for Detroit, with a focus on autonomous vehicles. Bill Ford, the company's executive chairman, expressed hope for the station's revitalization, which was brought to life by performances from artists like Big Sean, Fantasia, and the Detroit Symphony Orchestra. The event, attended by 20,000 people and live-streamed on Peacock, showcased Detroit's resilience and cultural richness, with over 60,000 expected to tour the newly restored landmark in the days to come.
