Stones ’saddened’ by crew deaths
Two workers were killed dismantling the stage after a Rolling Stones concert in Madrid, local police have confirmed. Two other stage hands were injured in the accident at the Vicente Calderon stadium and are now in hospital. The fatal accident occurred on Friday during the dismantling of the Rolling Stones stage, following a concert given by the group on Thursday night. These things happen and it will soon be forgotten and also be out of the headlines. But after years of huge improvements in safety techniques and equipments it really baffles me to hear that people have lost their while trying to remove a concert stage. This should act as a huge wake up call to the organizers that there exist a responsibility towards the family of these crew members and the be paid adequate compensation.
