Part of Madonna’s “Sticky and Sweet” stage set collapsed today in France leaving one person dead and six injured, according to BBC News:
Technicians were setting up the stage at the Velodrome stadium in Marseille when the partially built roof fell in at around 1715 (1515 GMT).
The concert, planned for Sunday, 19 July, has now been cancelled, officials announced.
The cause of the accident was not clear.
The roof “started shaking and collapsing” gradually, said Marseille city councillor Maurice Di Nocera.
“Since it did not collapse right away, that allowed several people to get out, to avoid being hit,” he said.
A likely excuse. Until the autopsy reveals the body had no bones. DUN DUN DUNNN!
But, no, seriously, condolences to the family who has to rationalize why their loved one died trying to light a one million year old dancing corpse in a top hat. I wouldn’t even know where to begin.

I saw that movie “Knowing” last night, and this was predicted in the numbers. All aliens know that she’s a no talent, old slut that should die.

EuroNeckPain | July 16, 2009 at 4:09 pm
Maybe there is some terrorist group who is aiming at ageing popstars. They got Michael but missed Madonna.
Randal | July 16, 2009 at 4:10 pm
I’ve seen you twice in concert Madonna and I must say, each time you’ve put on a killer show and even after all of these years, you still look stellar! Accidents happen, so play safe.

nipolian | July 16, 2009 at 4:16 pm

Zanna | July 16, 2009 at 4:27 pm

Sickitten | July 16, 2009 at 11:57 pm
Wow, with all that surgery and cheekbone Madonna is beginning to look like myself and Debbie Harry.
Yoda | July 17, 2009 at 4:53 am
Did the dude really die in an accident, or do Madonna just suck all his blood and devour his carcass?
RichPort's Ghost | July 17, 2009 at 8:41 am
So can we say Kaballah has claimed another victim?
Galtacticus | July 17, 2009 at 12:23 pm
A terrible accident,building stages of this size can be quite dangerous.
Darth | July 17, 2009 at 12:31 pm
MJ burnt his hair on stage.Stages aren’t without risks.
Rhialto | July 17, 2009 at 12:34 pm
She looks a bit different on these photos.She reinvents and transforms herself all the time.
Christian | July 17, 2009 at 12:36 pm
a death, no matter how it happnened, shoud not be fodder for a pathetic blog. sorry that you’re not up in the ranks for gossip websites. too bad you couldn’t do as much for society and the world as she has done. better luck next time.

Thank’s for including that quote description, Fish. Because I assumed it was her left labia that collapsed on someone.

She never promoted herself using a cheap, tacky brand of sexuality when younger-Why now…Dresses flatter her-not Leotards or tights….

If she is truly “devastated” she should go ahead with the show and give the money to the families or the local hospital who is treating the victims as a direct result of this incident – the families will get an insurance settlement anyway but it’s more the symbolic gesture. Waxing lyrically on stage and a dedicated song… sorry that’s hardly devastation.
