Radiohead stage collapse kills one in Canada

At least one person has died in a stage collapse before a Radiohead concert in the Canadian city of Toronto.

Three others were injured, one seriously, in the incident at Downsview Park, medical officials told CBC News.

The collapse is reported to have taken place an hour before gates were due to open for the concert, with queues already beginning to form outside.

UK rock band Radiohead tweeted that the performance had been cancelled due to "unforeseen circumstances".

Emergency crews went to the scene and the area was evacuated.

Toronto police said the stage collapsed at 16:00 local time (20:00), with the concert due to start at 19:30.

Lindsey Bradbury, who was due to be working at one of the beer tents at the show, said screens were being hung up on the stage before the collapse, according to The Globe and Mail.

Radiohead were to be joined on stage by Canadian musician Caribou.
