Madonna’s concert at the Velodrome stadium in Marseille on July 19 was cancelled after two people died due to a stage collapse. The partially-built roof fell in last Thursday (July 16), bringing down a crane that instantly killed Charles Criscenzo (53) and injured Charles Prow (23), who later died in the hospital. Eight other people were seriously injured.
According to the BBC, “Assistant prosecutor Marc Cimamonti said an investigation for manslaughter and involuntary injuries in a work-related accident has been opened.”
Meanwhile, Marseille city councilor, Maurice Di Nocera, explained that the roof began to shake and collapse gradually, giving time for other people to get out. States Madonna: "Let's all just take a moment to say a prayer for Charles Criscenzo and Charlie Prow. Our hearts go out to their family and loved ones."
