A stage being constructed in France for an upcoming concert by Madonna has collapsed, killing a 53 year old man and injuring at least six others. Reports indicate that a crane collapsed while installing Madonna’s stage for her concert, falling apart on top of several of the workers. The injured were taken to local hospitals, while two of the workers are said to be in critical condition.

Per People:

“I am devastated to have just received this tragic news,” the singer said in a statement Thursday through her spokesperson Liz Rosenberg. “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.”

Police and fire officials have closed the stadium while trying to rescue anyone who still trapped. The cause of the accident has not yet been determined. The 50-year-old Queen of Pop was supposed to perform on Sunday at the Stade Velodrome stadium in Marseille, but the concert has since been cancelled. This was one of the stops on the European leg of Madonna’s “Sticky and Sweet” tour.

Senator Ted Kennedy Seizure UPDATE

January 20, 2009 By Leave a Comment

As we welcomed President Barack Obama into office, Senator Ted Kennedy collapsed today while enjoying a luncheon at the Captiol’s Statuary Hall. Ted suffered a seizure as paramedics were called just after 2:30 EST. He was in the company of former presidential candidate John Kerry and former vice-president Walter Mondale. The Senator was wheeled out on a stretcher and taken to Washington Hospital Center.

After the incident a moment of silence was reportedly held. Obama also shared his concern…

Via The Australian:

“First of all, I know that while I was out of the room, concern was expressed about Teddy. I would be lying to you if I did not say that right now, a part of me is with him. And I think that’s true for all of us. This is a joyous time. But it’s also a sobering time. And my prayers are with him and his family and Vicki.”

Kennedy was diagnosed with a brain tumor in May and has been battling health issues. I hope nothing but the best for Ted and his family.

-UPDATE-

Per USA Today:

“Sen. Chris Dodd, D-Conn., told USA TODAY’s Ken Dilanian that he spoke with Kennedy before the senator was put in an ambulance. His old friend, Dodd said, told him ” ‘I’ll be OK, I’ll see you later,’ just that kind of chatter.”
