ALBUQUERQUE — Sugarland prepared to return to the stage Thursday for the duo’s first performance since a stage collapse at the Indiana State Fair killed five people.
The Grammy-winning country duo was minutes from performing at the fair in Indianapolis on Saturday when 60- to 70- mph wind gusts knocked the massive stage onto the audience. Four were killed instantly; another person died later.
Sugarland members Jennifer Nettles and Kristian Bush were not injured in the accident. They canceled their Sunday show at the Iowa State Fair but said they were looking forward to getting their “touring family” back together and using their music to help with healing.
The band’s elaborate set and instruments were all destroyed, but the group said “this incredible machine is more than a tour and more than a set.” The Associated Press
