Sugarland's frontwoman, Jennifer Nettles, released a lengthy
statement on the band's official site about the incident. "I am
so moved. Moved by the grief of those families who lost loved
ones. Moved by the pain of those who were injured and the fear
of their families. Moved by the great heroism as I watched so
many brave Indianapolis fans actually run toward the stage to
try and help lift and rescue those injured. Moved by the quickness
and organization of the emergency workers who set up the triage
and tended to the injured," she wrote. "There are no words to
process a moment of this magnitude and gravity. There are only
prayers for peace in the hearts of the bereft, and prayers of
thanksgiving for those who were spared or safe. A piece of our
heart is left in that grandstand. May God provide peace and healing
to the people of Indianapolis."

Subject: Stage collapse in Indiana
Last year due to a stage collapse in OK, i had to cancel a show. Luckily only one local crew member was hurt badly enough to be taken to the hospital. Yesterday's Indiana State Fair stage collapse hit me hard.
No matter what you want to call it, the weather is changing and stages that we are using now are not strong enough to withstand it. We are experiencing increasingly more powerful and unpredictable, freak winds. The amount of equipment that stages must support safely varies with every production and in Indiana that was 12 semi trucks full.
Already this year the Ottawa Blues Festival outdoor stage collapsed only a week after we had played it. Once again due to freak weather.
I am not placing any blame and all the facts are not available yet anyway. I am just so upset that this has happened and that stage crew and audience members had to lose their lives.
I am only suggesting is that we all put our heads together, especially the structural engineers who design these stages and the companies who build and erect them. More and more stages are collapsing and in the name of safety they must be improved to withstand the new weather and the bigger productions.
My heart goes out to the families of those lost in this most recent disaster. It need not have happened.
