Pink Floyd's David Gilmour was this weekend forced to postpone two concerts in Venice after a structural defect in the stage was discovered during soundcheck, a defect which could have caused the whole stage unit to collapse mid-concert. The gigs, due to take place in the city's St Mark's Square, will now take place next weekend. Gilmour told reporters: "Our most sincere apologies to all those who were supposed to attend these shows this weekend. A structural defect was discovered in the scaffolding just before the sound check this evening, which has rendered the whole stage structure unsafe."
