A few days prior to falling ill before his Coachella show, Chicago's Chance The Rapper celebrated his 21st birthday on tour with a performance in Ogden Theater in, Denver. During the show, the 2014 XXL Freshman sounded genuinely appreciative of the fan support over his short career, telling the crowd, "In all honesty, I have to thank you guys for tonight. This is cool as f#ck. I feel appreciated. I feel like I'm not just at work on my birthday. I feel like this is some sh#t I needed to be at. I needed to be here in Denver." Shot by Greg Chimmel.
