'He represents Latinos really well': Fans speak up for Ricky Martin at Hollywood Bowl

LOS ANGELES — One day after a Puerto Rican judge dismissed harassment claims against Latin superstar Ricky Martin, the 50-year-old singer made his first public showing on Friday night with an emotional concert at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles.

"All I want is for you to forget all your issues tonight," said Martin to his fans at the Bowl. His husband, Jwan Yosef, and family members were seated in the front row. "Just focus on love and light and let's just have a good time."

Helmed by conductor Gustavo Dudamel, the L.A. Philharmonic supported the Grammy winner as he blazed through supersized renditions of his Latin pop hits, including "Livin' La Vida Loca," "María," "Vuelve" and "The Cup of Life."
