Some of Detroit’s greatest musical exports performed at a concert celebrating the historic reopening of an 18-story structure that long had symbolized their hometown’s decline.
Musician Jack White waves before being honored by the Michigan Central Station, Thursday, June 6, 2024, in Detroit. – A myriad of Detroit’s greatest musical exports, including Diana Ross , Eminem and Jack White , took to the stage Thursday night in a pulsating sonic spectacle held on the eve of the historic reopening of an 18-story structure that long had symbolized their hometown’s decline.
“Six years ago, we gathered here, and we dreamt of what was possible. We dared to dream that this station, which had become the symbol of a broken city, could once again shine as a symbol of the Motor City,” Bill Ford, his namesake company's executive chairman, told the crowd before Ross, the Motown superstar, opened the festivities with “I'm Coming Out.”
“For most of my life, it was just a big eyesore,” Big Sean said of the train station. “It's an oasis in the middle of the city. It's a metaphor for us all: It's our time right now.” Eminem's appearance may have been the highlight of the night for attendees, but White's performance wasn't far behind.
