Grammy-nominated singer Eric Burton flubbed the national anthem lyrics before Friday night’s World Series opener between the Astros and Phillies.
USA Today Sports' Bob Nightengale and Steve Gardner share their thoughts on what makes the World Series so special.HOUSTON – Grammy-nominated singer Eric Burton lost track of the lyrics during “The Star-Spangled Banner” before Friday night’s World Series opener between Houston and Philadelphia.
With players and staff lined up on the field for the traditional pre-game ceremony, and a giant American flag unfurled across the outfield, the Black Pumas band leader went off track on the second line. He sang: “What so proudly we hail’d at the twilight’s last streaming” instead of “gleaming.” He continued correctly with: “Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight.” But then, instead of “O’er the ramparts we watch’d were so gallantly streaming?” he backtracked to “What so proudly we hail’d at the twilight’s last” before again singing “streaming” instead of “gleaming.”
Burton then picked up correctly with “And the rocket’s red glare, the bomb bursting in air” and finished uneventfully. Eric Burton, lead singer of Austin’s own Black Pumas flubs lyrics of the National Anthem at World Series opener in Houston.
