TaylorSwift 163,697 Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 (edited) A worker died on Sunday after being injured during the assembly of a stage for a public concert featuring Colombian pop star Shakira in Rio de Janeiro, the state fire brigade said in a statement. The victim suffered severe crushing injuries to his lower limbs after becoming trapped in a lifting system, the brigade said, citing witness accounts. According to initial reports, the 28-year-old Gabriel de Jesus Firmino was struck by a structure that became detached from the stage's roof. He was taken to the Miguel Couto Municipal Hospital, but he did not survive. Shakira is set to perform on Saturday. reuters.com x Edited April 26 by Teletubby Vote for me: https://www.grammy.com/vote/taylor-swift 3 17 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LG2008 6,352 Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 Is this the same stage from her tour? Shakira had multiple issues with the assembly of her stage since last year if I remember correctly Some of them even led to the cancelation of those shows... What's going on? 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
