Jay-Z goes ahead with outdoor show

Jay-Z played an outdoor show in New York last night only days after it was axed due to security fears and the hip-hop star was forced to pull out of the free concert in the city centre because it was feared that thousands planned to turn up. 

The performance was due to be part of his appearance on 'The Late Show with David Letterman'. 

The rapper instead moved the concert onto the roof of the TV show's studio and invited 100 fans to watch him perform with his surprise guest Eminem.
