stage collapse

Elton John‘s concert in the English seaside resort town of Blackpool was cut short Monday (June 16) due to safety concerns. Two hours into his concert at the Blackpool Tower Headland — the first ever at the new outdoor arena — he was informed by police that the strong winds could pose a threat to the stage. The audience evacuated and no one was hurt.

We knew Cheap Trick rocked hard, we didn't know it was enough to make the stage collapse. While it was actually severe weather that destroyed the stage Sunday night at a Bluesfest in Ottawa, we think the band should stick to the first story.
