At least three people were killed last night, and 71 injured, when a stage collapsed during stormy weather at a Belgian music festival.
Video footage showed stage equipment dangling in high winds as rain-soaked concertgoers at the Pukkelpop festival – whose line-up includes Foo Fighters, Eminem and The Offspring – ran for cover near the town of Hasselt, about 50 miles east of Brussels.
About 60,000 people were said to be at the three-day event, which started yesterday.
