The members of Cheap Trick were almost seriously injured or killed when the stage where they were performing collapsed at the Ottawa Blues Festival.
The incident, from July of 2011, occurred when an incoming storm front produced a 73 MPH wind causing the metal on uprights to buckle and collapse onto the stage. While the members of the band were able to get off the stage, thanks to the quick thinking of Robin Zander, three other individuals were injured and required hospitalization, including one of the band's roadies.
The band has filed a $1 million lawsuit against the Ottawa Blues Festival and the companies responsible for the stage, sound and lighting in compensation for the incident. MORE HERE & HERE
