Madonna announces 2012 concert tour
NOVOSIBIRSK, Russia, June 22 (UPI) -- Alice Cooper canceled a show in Novosibirsk, Russia, after stage rigging collapsed, a spokesman for the U.S. shock metal singer said.
No injuries were reported in the Friday night collapse of scaffolding on the stage at Spartak Stadium, where Cooper was scheduled to do an outdoor concert Saturday, spokesman Bob Merlis said in Los Angeles.
The show -- part of the European leg of the singer's "Theater of Death" tour -- will not be rescheduled. Ticket holders were offered refunds but were also told their tickets would be honored for a concert this week in Krasnoyarsk, several hundred miles from Novosibirsk.
The incident will not affect any other tour dates.
The equipment that collapsed was provided by local vendors. No reason was given for the collapse but the weather at the stadium was clear, Cooper's tour manager said.
Alice Cooper is scheduled to return to the United States for a two-week tour beginning at the end of July before heading off for a series of dates in Australia and New Zealand.
