Stage collapse in Marseille, France

A stage being built in France for a concert by pop star Madonna has collapsed, killing one worker and injuring six, emergency services say.

Technicians had been setting up the stage at the Velodrome stadium in Marseille when the partially-built roof fell in, bringing down a crane.

A French worker, 53, was killed and two of those hurt, a Briton and a US citizen, were seriously injured.

Madonna said she was "devastated" by news of the accident.

The concert, planned for Sunday, was cancelled.

The 60,000-seater Velodrome is France's second-biggest sports arena and home to the Olympique de Marseille football club.
