Alicia Keys was energetic when she performed for a loud and excited audience at a pre-Super Bowl party, but she also got serious at the top of her show. Keys opened her performance Friday night at Levi's The City Stage with words about Mario Woods, the 26-year-old who was shot and killed in December by five San Francisco officers shot after they say he refused commands to drop an 8-inch knife. After acknowledging that she heard some of the protesters, Keys said: "I want to thank you for your commitment to make sure justice is done for Mario Woods." She added that "as the mother of two black sons, it breaks my heart to" to see young men gunned down.
