Tons of reports and Re-Tweets today. Sadly the man died later in hospital. Neither Will nor the fans knew of the severity at the time so anyone callous enough to make ignorant comments - hang your head.

 

My condolences to the man's loved ones.

Just adding this - thanks to MaryW on Devoted:

British singer WILL YOUNG has expressed his shock at the death of a crew member prior to his show on Thursday night (15Jul10) and sent his "deepest sympathy" to the roadie's family.

The Who Am I hitmaker's gig at Rochester Castle in Kent, south-east England was marred by tragedy when an unnamed crewman plunged off the stage, suffering serious head injuries.

He was rushed to the nearby Medway Maritime Hospital but died later that evening.

Young admits he had no idea about the seriousness of the roadie's condition when he took to the stage and was stunned when he was told the news after the concert.

He tells WENN, "I am shocked and so saddened by last night's tragic accident before the Rochester show. I was unaware of the seriousness of the incident until after I left the stage. My deepest sympathy goes out to the bereaved family."

Thanks Chris...

Rochester people.

As you no doubt know, there was a tragic start to the Castle Concert featuring Will Young last night, as a member of Will’s backstage team suffered a fatal fall. Our sincere condolences go to the family, Will and the crew at this sad time

With the stage taped off until the police had finished their investigation, the concert was delayed for some time, before BB Diamond and her band Hold Tight rocked the castle with their mix of classic dance tracks and original songs, Tell Me Something Good and Smile Another Day. Andy Walker, KMFM’s new breakfast DJ was on presenting duty - and played a mean trumpet for BB, too, from where I was standing ! It also looked like BB had Stephen Merchant on keyboards!

With a shortened set due to the circumstances, BB finished with Your Love Keeps Lifting Me Higher and gave way to the rock steady reggae of Rox, who the Guardian say will be one of 2010’s hottest new acts.

The man himself, Will Young, didn’t disappoint, as he ran through all my favourites: Changes, Love is a Matter of Distance, Friday’s Child and more.

With an unusual dance segment involving light suits against a blacked out stage (they must get him for Strictly Come Dancing!), Will entertains in a very un-rock-god-like way. He’s very much the eccentric English gentleman, with daft asides and quirky routines to complement his excellent vocal, all combining for a thoroughly entertaining evening, if one somewhat tinged with sadness. .

Thanks so much for the review Bev.

 

Will try & do one of my own tomorrow when I can collect my thoughts.

There won't have been any advertising Mikey as Will's gig sold out in under 3 hours.

So sad that such a wonderful day has been marred by tragedy.

 

I've just now been able to recollect my thoughts. First time I've ever stood at the barrier & the minute Will appeared on that stage made every mile I'd travelled so worthwhile. I swear he gets more handsome every time I see him & while his voice has always been outstanding, his overall performance & stage presence totally matches it now. No wonder he is such a draw at these live gigs. :dance: :dance: He just has everything now but then I don't need to say that here. :wub:

 

 

Before the gig I got talking to a local lady who hadn't seen Will before. She couldn't believe such a 'superstar' (her words) was doing such a long soundcheck. She danced & clapped all the way through it. Definitely smitten even before the gig had even started. :heart:

 

 

Anyone yet to go to a summer gig are in for such a treat. Only one more for me. Roll on Tatton :w00t: :dance:

 

Thanks TT - he's slowly but surely drawing in the sceptics - love it :dance:
