POP/ROCK - Dec. 23, 1987

In response to the postponement of two concerts Frank Sinatra was supposed to give at New Jersey’s Meadowlands complex, a state official there wants to ban the singer from the arena. Robert E. Ferguson, a commissioner of the New Jersey Sports and Exposition Authority, is asking other commissioners to vote to ban Sinatra from any future performances at the Meadowlands because of his “irresponsible” behavior.” Sinatra delayed his Dec. 4 concert with Liza Minnelli for two days because the sheet music did not arrive from California in time, and earlier he had postponed a show because of an illness.
