Memorial for Stage Collapse Victims
It was a terrifying day for country music fans in Indianapolis who were present when the stage collapsed during a Sugarland concert. Although the band, who was playing at the time, weren't injured, 5 fatalities have been reported, among which were fans and stagehands. The incident was caused by unforseen extreme weather-- 70 mph winds which were not expected at all during the Indiana State Fair. Sugarland will perform a private concert in memorial for the victims and the proceeds from a concert already planned for the Indiana State Fair -- a double headliner with Maroon 5 and Train -- will be donated for a fund created for the those affected by the incident.
