Briton killed in Madonna stage collapse

A BRITISH workman killed while setting up the stage for a Madonna concert in France was named today.

Charles Prow, 23, died overnight from injuries he suffered when a section of stage roof collapsed on to a number of workers yesterday.

A French worker was killed immediately in the accident at Marseille's Stade Velodrome, the city's main football ground, which led to the singer's planned concert on Sunday being cancelled.

In a statement on her website, the 50-year-old, now on the Italian leg of her Sticky And Sweet world tour, said she was "devastated" by the news, and offered her sympathy to the victims' families.
