SAN JOSE, Calif. (KGO) -- Singer Ellie Goulding is apologizing to fans who were ready to endure Sunday's storm to watch her and two others perform at a free concert in San Jose.

Goulding, OneRepublic, and The Regrettes were scheduled to perform as the final event before the College Football Playoff National Championship Monday.

However, the event was called off by the City of San Jose when wind, rain, and standing water crashed the venue.

Goulding tweeted, "I'm so sorry everyone," with a broken heart emoji.

In San Francisco, Imagine Dragons and Lil Wayne were supposed to perform as well. Theirs was a rehearsal on Treasure Island for their College Football Playoff Halftime Performance.

Dozens of people showed up ready to brave the wind and rain, only to find out the show will not go on.
