Three hurt in Elton John stage collapse

THREE workers have been injured when the stage for an upcoming Elton John concert collapsed at the Maya pyramids of Chichen Itza, in southern Mexico.

"The injured were taken to a nearby hospital where two were promptly released but the third was retained for surgery to a fractured leg," concert organiser Jorge Esma said.

The concert, scheduled for the weekend, "will not be cancelled" despite the damage, which is being repaired at full speed, he added.

The stage collapsed when the upper section of an 80m-high metal structure came crashing down.

The accident cut off tourist access to the archeological site all day.

Elton John's concert will be the third musical event held at Chichen Itza in the past few years, including Spanish tenor Placido Domingo in 2008 and British soprano Sarah Brightman in 2009.
