A rigger working on the set up for Madonna's forthcoming London concert was rushed to hospital this weekend after breaking his arm and leg when he fell 30 feet. He was flown from the city's Earls Court venue to a near by hospital by air ambulance.
A spokesman for the London Ambulance Service told the BBC: "We received a call from Earl's Court at 1pm to say that a man had fallen approximately 30ft. An ambulance and air ambulance were called and crews were on the scene for around two hours because there were difficulties moving the patient. His main injuries appeared to be to his shoulder and arm."
Commenting on the incident, Madonna's manager Caresse Henry said: "The entire crew, performers and staff, especially Madonna, were very saddened to hear about the accident but are hopeful that he will make a full recovery."
Madonna's UK tour kicks off in Manchester on 14 Aug. The London dates take place on 18 and 19 Aug.
