There was no colorful bus or fake family of children pretending to play instruments. And, apparently, Wednesday's final concert in the SCERA Shell's summer season was also almost without its star.

After bounding out on stage, opening with two straight songs, David Cassidy admitted to a near-cancellation due to the death of a close friend that afternoon and to worries over members of his family evacuating their Florida home in anticipation of impending Hurricane Frances.

But luckily for fans, Cassidy said he felt the love and support of his fans in "Donny country" and decided the show must go on.

And there was a lot of love and support. Swooning women in the front three rows let their inner-groupie come out, waving signs and toting vinyl records of "The Partridge Family."

Finish Reading David Cassidy gets happy.
