Maxwell is pictured performing at the 15th Annual Essence Music Festival on Saturday night. The singer caused a little bit of drama when he came on stage almost 45 minutes past his show time. But people need to realize that many of the acts before him (Jazmine Sullivan, Anita Baker, etc) went over their time and his band had to set up his stage, etc. Here is what he said on Twitter:
thank you ESSENCE MUSIC FESTIVAL.. to all of you who came and checked us all out for your FOURTHofJULYweekend!
some other shows went late.. we were last so..
Maxwell’s new album, BLACKsummers’night, will be in stores this Tuesday, July 7th.

Keys’ appearance on the BET Awards Show Sunday night also reportedly raised more than $130,000 from more than 26,000 mobile donors who texted their donations. Now that’s a real show stopper…
