A woman had died and 19 other people have been injured at a Linkin Park concert in Cape Town, South Africa, according to the BBC. The band were unaware that temporary scaffolding outside the Green Point stadium, where they were playing, had collapsed and so played their set. However it was confirmed by a spokesperson to the BBC that "One person passed away last night as a result of injuries. It was a female individual. She passed away after she was taken to hospital.”

Finding out about the news after playing their show, Linkin Park quickly wrote a statement on their website, which read: “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.”

They added: “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.”

The temporary scaffolding fell over due to high winds in the area. It is the second major outdoor gig-related tragedy to occur this year after staging collapsed during Radiohead’s sound check in Toronto earlier this year, killing their drum tech Scott Johnson.
