Two dead, one injured ahead of ABBA tribute concert in Sweden

This is a schematic of the concert hall.

Listening to ABBA. on ear buds or having the tune stuck in your head in public appears it can be hazardous to one’s health.

Just as I suspected. Ear worms can be fatal. Or a case of self prophecy?

Could be. Or, maybe the age of the man who fell (he was in his 80s) had something to do with it? He fell on a man and woman in their 60s, the gentleman also died but the woman thankfully sustained non-life-threatening injuries. Before anyone thinks ageism on my part, I’m 70 so…

Yes, a dreadful accident.

What ABBA is doing is fascinating.

These accidents usually end up as poor design of railing systems. But in defense it is difficult to design a railing that fits the entire population of body types and szes and still be able to see a show.

Older people can also do Stage diving

I was shivved at an ABBA concert. The violence that their music engenders is legendary.

The Stones at Altamont, The Who in Cleveland, ABBA. Goes without saying.
