Have you ever been to a concert where the artist/band got booed off the stage?

16. Marvin Gaye at University of Georgia around 1968.

He was touring with his duet partner Tammi Terrell. At the time, they had several popular hit records together, including “Ain’t Nothing Like the Real Thing.” Everyone showed up expecting to see the pair in concert and then learned that, due to illness, Tammi would not be there. Marvin, who reportedly was quite shy and did not enjoy performing live, tried valiantly, but the crowd was not kind.

I don’t know if he cut the show short, but he acknowledged that the performance was not what we all wanted. Tammi was later diagnosed with a brain tumor and died in 1970. I hope all the people who booed felt bad about that.
