Big Valley Jamboree Stage Collapses in Canada

A stage collapse at the Big Valley Jamboree country music festival in Canada Saturday night (August 1, 2009) has left one dead and 75 people injured, including Billy Currington’s bassist Alex Stevens.
The stage collapsed as the result of extreme weather that consisted of high winds and heavy rain.

CNN reports that Billy Currington was on stage when the storm hit, and his tour manager was literally pulling him off the stage when the collapse occurred. Currington suffered a mild concussion, scrapes and bruises, the source said, and was released from a hospital Sunday morning.
