Madonna concert stage collapses
The planned concert was part of Madonna's Sticky and Sweet tourA stage being constructed for a concert by pop star Madonna in France has collapsed, killing one person and injuring six, police say.
Technicians were setting up the stage at the Velodrome stadium in Marseille when the accident occurred at around 1715 (1515 GMT).
The concert, planned for Sunday, 19 July, has now been cancelled, officials announced.
It was part of the European leg of the Madonna's Sticky and Sweet tour.
The cause of the accident was not clear.
The frame "started shaking and collapsing", said Marseille city councillor Maurice Di Nocera.
"Fortunately, it didn't collapse too quickly, as there would have been quite a few victims," he said, according to AFP news agency.
Two of the injuries were serious, Interior Minister Brice Hortefeux said.

I guess Madonna said in a statement onstage that it is 2 lives now that were taken. Very sad.

Madonna meets family of stage collapse victim
Madonna arrived in Marseille, France, yesterday, to visit the family of the family of a stage hand who was killed in an accident while preparing her concert. They went to meet the family of 53-year-old Charles Criscenzo who died along with a 23-year-old Briton when part of the stage collapsed. Madonna travelled to two Marseille hospitals to see three workers who remain in care since the incident on Thursday. The mayor's special events deputy Maurice Di Nocera said: "Madonna wanted to come and visit those injured and the families of those killed. She wanted something private and discreet." The Mayor of Marseille, Jean-Claude Gaudin added "she shows great humanity and we appreciate it. We can only see her great human qualities." Madonna was not allowed to visit the Stade Velodrome because an inquiry into the accident has begun.

I guess I would feel guilty only because I wanted certain things for my show and that thing was one of them BUT I don't think its her fault. I'd feel
guilty because it's a natural feeling but like everyone says, accidents happen.
