It’s the Philadelphia Inquirer who reported the information: one of the concerts given by The Weeknd as part of his North American tour will have been the scene of a drama. A 32-year-old man who lost his life after falling 12 meters. The victim would have obviously taken place on an escalator rail, before tipping over into the void to land on his head. Evacuated to the nearest hospital, the spectator did not survive his injuries. The incident reportedly occurred shortly before 11 p.m. local time Lincoln Financial Fieldas The Weeknd kicked off his stadium tour After Hours Til Dawn.
Bob Lange, vice president of communications for the Philadelphia Eagles (the NFL team playing at Lincoln Financial Field), told the press that the concert had already come to an end and that the crowd was leaving the place at the time of the ‘incident. Neither the promoter Live Nation, nor The Weekend, have yet commented on this drama.
