Two people were killed when a stage they were setting up for Madonna’s concert in Marseille, France collapsed. Authorities say that the stage was 2/3 set up when it came crushing down. About 50 people were involved in the stage set up process out of which about a dozen were underneath the stage when it collapsed. Four cranes were lifting up the roof when it slipped off balance and toppled one of the cranes sending it down along with the roof on the people below.
Madonna played that Marseille concert and paused to pay tribute to two men who were killed when stage collapsed. Being a professional stage performer, she burst into tears and sobbed her words out. Marseille audience either did not quite understand what she was saying or took her cries as staged, opportunistic performance which it at the end of the day actually was.
