Summary
Corey O'Connor said Morgan Wallen's team had no contact with Pittsburgh public safety officials or the mayor's office before canceling the singer's June 6 stadium show.
The mayor disputed Wallen's later claim that his team had consulted local officials that morning and said he had also heard Acrisure Stadium was not notified in advance.
Wallen canceled the second of two Pittsburgh dates over forecast severe weather, but the first storm band cleared by about 3:30 p.m. and evening conditions in the city were clear, fueling fan backlash.
Allegheny County emergency chief Matt Brown said the threat was still real because a small shift in the storm track could have brought severe winds to Pittsburgh, while counties south and east saw tornadoes and damage.
