MARSEILLE, France — The roof of a stage being built for a Madonna concert in the French port city of Marseille collapsed Thursday, leaving one worker dead and nine injured, city officials said.
The roof at the Stade Velodrome stadium fell apart on top of several workers.The seriously injured were an American and a Briton, said the Marseille central fire department. The killed worker was French. No identities were released. The cause of the roof collapse was not clear. Police and emergency officials cordoned off the area.
Madonna’s “Sticky & Sweet” tour was due to arrive in Marseille on Sunday, but the concert was canceled because “rebuilding a stage, it’s not possible,” Di Nocera said. The Associated Press
