A stage being erected for an upcoming Madonna concert collapsed, killing a 53-year-old French man and injuring six, two seriously, according to the BBC and CNN. The accident occurred at the Velodrome in Marseilles, France, where Madonna was scheduled to perform on Sunday as part of her Sticky and Sweet tour; the show has been canceled. "At this point we don't know how it happened, but we are confident no one else is still under the rubble," a French police officer told CNN.
"My prayers go out to those who were injured and their families along with my deepest sympathy to all those affected by this heartbreaking news," Madonna said in a statement issued by her representative, Liz Rosenberg, according to CNN.
Stupid British.
Let the lawsuits against Madge by family members and relatives (even if estranged or distant) commence in 5, 4, 3…
Sad news. The stage crews are so underrated, and it’s a shame people were injured and even died.
Sad news..

Stupid British?
It was a French Man…in France.
Although i can’t say i disagree with the statement, just saying it has no connection to what happened.
He was probably listening to Hard Candy and just couldn’t take it anymore.

British staging companies work to the highest standards in the World. This collapse is a tragedy for those involved and for all of us involved in the events industry. In every venture there is risk but I believe British staging companies make every effort to minimise those risks.
God Bless!
OMG! Poor Madonna!…She’s been through so much..I feel so bad for her. People need to stop screwing with her. This man should have been more careful….the nerve of him to die when she has worked so hard to give her fans a great performance and now she cant do it!
That was a bad experienced..

That’s just wrong Sam.
Serves him right for getting in her light.
We are talking about human lives. Accidents can happen no matter how careful you are. Think about the many families who are affected by this and do something positive instead of talking negatively about people and the situation.
