Gisterenavond kwam een vrouw om het leven in Zuid-Afrika vlak voor de aanvang van het concert van de Amerikaanse band Linkin Park. Het ongeval gebeurde bij de parkeerplaatsen doordat een reclametoren naar beneden viel door hoge windsnelheden. Er wordt gesproken over twaalf tot wel twintig gewonden.

Linkin Park reageert ontzet en laten zit bericht achter op hun blog:

“Following our performance tonight at Cape Town Stadium, we were advised that several people were injured as a result of the collapse of an advertising tower erected by Lucozade in the parking area outside the venue.

We wish to express our deep sadness and concern for those injured and our heartfelt condolences to the family of the fan who died as a result of her injuries.

Though we have had no relationship with the sponsor or the entity responsible for erecting the structure, we take the safety of our fans very seriously and our thoughts are with all of those who were affected by this tragedy.”
