This led to the cancellation of the concert. In a tweet, the US band posted: “We never want to put our fans in harm’s way.”
According to reports, fans were waiting at the venue when the storm hit the area causing trusses at the entrance to collapse due to the high winds. In a statement, the venue hosting the concert WinStar World Casino and Resort said that it had asked fans to seek shelter from the storm after lightning was spotted within four miles of the site. However, about 150 people who were standing in line for the Backstreet Boys concert did not heed staff’s warnings.
After the incident, the Backstreet Boys said they would try to reschedule the concert.
“We never want to put our fans in harm’s way and with tonight’s weather and the injuries from earlier, we have decided to cancel the show and will attempt to reschedule. The most important thing is for everyone to get home safely and we will see you all very soon!”
That is why i like Nigerians. We can zap immediately. We don’t even need to sight the lightning, the rain is enough to send us out looking for shelter. Will the artist pay for your hospital bills if you become sick with fever or catch cold
hahahahaahahhhaahahahaah. You are correct dear
How will they heed the advice of the staff’s warning were they are waiting for Backstreet boys. And you know Americans can act like mumu sometimes. They will see harm, and still be watching. I bet they were even snapping the lightening that was spotted.
Thank God they were just wounded and not dead.
