Madonna Tour Stage Collapses, One Dead

The stage for Madonna‘s Stick & Sweet concert tour at the Stade Velodrome stadium Marseille, France collapsed today (July 16). At least one person is dead and six are injured after the stage fell apart on top of several workers. The six injured were taken to local hospitals.

The 50-year-old Queen of Pop was supposed to perform on Sunday (July 19) but BBC is reporting the concert has been canceled.

“I am devastated to have just received this tragic news,” Madonna said in a statement through her spokesperson Liz Rosenberg. “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.”
