One of three women held captive in a Cleveland home for a decade appeared on stage at a concert yesterday alongside rapper Nelly - her first public event since her rescue, which came a day after her abductor pleaded guilty. Amanda Berry made a surprise appearance at the day-long concert RoverFest in Cleveland on Saturday night, walking on stage with her family and waving at the cheering crowd before reemerging later again to join rapper Nelly. Wearing sunglasses and dressed in jeans and a black T-shirt, Berry smiled broadly while acknowledging the applause, but she didn't address the crowd. The announcer called for 'a bigger round of applause and cheer...than any of the acts that are here' and said after she arrived on stage: 'I told her she had a little bit of time to make up on the partying and you guys could help her out tonight'. Rapper Nelly introduced her onstage later saying: 'Everyone, here's Amanda Berry'. She held hands with one of the guys who appeared on stage with her and he draped a protective arm around her throughout. It is not known if he is a member of her family or a boyfriend. Concertgoer Kayleigh Fladung told The Plain Dealer: 'She didn't say anything, but she was smiling and happy. 'She waved to the crowd, everyone went crazy cheering, and she went backstage. Nelly did his set, four or five songs, and then he brought her out again and everyone cheered. 'It was cool to see but still very surprising.'
