SYRACUSE, N.Y. — Rick Springfield was a big hit at the opening day of the 2015 New York State Fair. So was his tush.

The singer best known for his 1981 No. 1 hit “Jessie’s Girl” returned to the suburban Syracuse fairgrounds for the first time since he was sued after falling off the stage in 2004. A woman said she suffered serious head injuries when Springfield’s buttocks hit her.

In January, he won a seven-year legal battle when a state Supreme Court judge said the performer didn’t hurt the woman. At Thursday night’s show, Springfield, 66, thanked fans for supporting him.
