This morning, a crane collapsed on workers while they were installing a stage for Madonna's Sticky & Sweet tour. One person is dead, and six more are injured. The accident took place at Velodrome Stadium in Marseille, France, and has caused the show (which was to take place on Sunday) to be cancelled. Madonna issued this statement:
"I am devastated to have just received this tragic news. 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."
