For R. Kelly, the show goes on
The singer risked going to jail over a missed court date, but judge says canceling tour would hurt people who count on him.
A Cook County judge scolded, lectured and threatened R. Kelly on Friday, but he ultimately spared the R&B singer a trip to the slammer for missing a court date.
Cook County Circuit Judge Vincent Gaughan allowed Kelly to leave the courthouse and perform Friday night in Chicago, saying he was concerned that bringing the singer's tour to a halt would be unfair to concert employees and fans.
But as yet another trial date approaches, the judge shortened the leash on Kelly and forced him to cancel a concert in Virginia because it was too close to a hearing date.
