Lainey Wilson and Five For Fighting’s John Ondrasik to Perform on ‘9/11 Tribute in Light: Live From Lower Manhattan’ Special
The primetime ABC broadcast will be part of the annual lighting of the commemorative public art instillation that has lit up the New York skyline every year since 2002.
The 25th annual September 11 commemoration in New York City will air live on ABC this year as part of the tragic 2001 terror attacks' anniversary. The special, titled 9/11 Tribute in Light: Live From Lower Manhattan, will debut at 8 p.m. ET on ABC, Disney+, Hulu, National Geographic, ABC-owned TV stations, livestreams, and ABC News Live. The broadcast will feature country singer Lainey Wilson and musician John Ondrasik of Five For Fighting performing live at the base of the iconic Tribute in Light double beams.
Wilson expressed her honor at lending her voice to the moment, honoring first responders, families, and communities who showed strength and compassion during the difficult times. Ondrasik, whose song 'Superman' became an 9/11 anthem in the aftermath of the attacks, shared his thoughts on performing the track. The live special is hosted by World News Tonight anchor David Muir, Good Morning America co-anchor Robin Roberts, anchor Diane Sawyer, and WABC anchors Sade Baderinwa and Mike Marza.
