An employee at the park said that the band themselves had been due to arrive on stage for final preparations just before the collapse.

Yet another. I presume it was a worker that died. It's disgraceful that this still happens at events like this.

This is very sad. Such incidents are more common than I thought. Tragic. R.I.P
