Bill Ford, executive chair of Ford, said in a statement caught by CBS News: “Michigan Central means a great deal to us all. In many ways, this building tells the story of our city. This Station was our Ellis Island — a place where dreamers in search of new jobs and new opportunities first set foot in Detroit. But once the last train pulled out, it became a place where hope left. In 2018, I decided it was time to change that by reimagining this station as a place of possibility again.”
Michigan Central Station Reopens After 30 Years
NBC will be live-streaming the event on Peacock and their YouTube channel on June 6 at 8:30 PM, ET. The concert comes after Eminem dropped the biggest streaming debut of his career, “Houdini,” last week. Be on the lookout for further updates on Eminem and the upcoming concert on HotNewHipHop.
