Well, someone died before a Radiohead concert in Canada.
It what seems like a freak accident, an overhanging metal scaffolding collapsed and crashed onto the Toronto stage during set up, pinning and killing one crew member.
"Unfortunately, four people were hurt," Toronto police Constable Tony Vella told CNN. "The remainder of the people, when they heard the stage coming [down], ran from the area."
The deceased has not been identified, nor have the other victims, one of whom suffered a head injury that isn't considered life-threatening. Two other victims suffered only minor injuries. This in the second scaffolding-related incident in 10 months. Seven died and 40 were injured at last year's Indiana State Fair when metalwork supporting stage lights collapsed onto a crowd of fans and workers right before Sugarland was slated to perform.
"The big question is how [this happened]," Vella said. "And that's something we will be working closely with the Ministry of Labor to determine exactly, to prevent any future cases."
The gates were scheduled to open at 5 pm, but as you can probably expect, the show was canceled due to what Live nation called "unforeseen circumstances."
