HONG KONG, Oct 30 — A worker was killed after stage lights collapsed as staff were setting up for a concert by the Taiwanese singer Jolin Tsai in southern China.

The accident happened yesterday afternoon at the Guangxi Stadium in Nanning, Chinanews.com reported.

A picture taken from Facebook appears to show the stage before it collapsed.

The report added that rescue workers pulled 14 people free after they were caught under equipment.

Another person is understood to have been seriously injured in the incident.

The concert is part of the singer’s ‘Play World Tour’ and was scheduled for tomorrow night. It has now been cancelled and ticket buyers can request a refund, the organisers said in a statement.

A police investigation is currently underway.

Tsai, who is known as the Queen of Mandopop, wrote on her social media account last night: “Please pray together for the victims.”
