One person was killed and six were injured yesterday when part of a stage being constructed for a performance by Madonna in France collapsed.

Reports say that part of the top section of the stage at the Velodrome stadium in Marseille fell in on technicians as they were building it.
The concert, which had been scheduled to take place on Sunday, has now been cancelled.

Madonna told reporters yesterday “I am devastated to have just received this tragic news. My prayers go out to those who were injured and their families along with my deepest sympathy to all those affected by this heartbreaking news”.
