Crew members ran for their lives when overhanging metalwork crashed onto a stage in a Toronto park Saturday afternoon, pinning and killing one man, authorities said.
One person was killed when a Toronto stage collapsed before sold-out Radiohead concert.

As a concert, the Grammy Awards are often well worth watching. Witness Sly Stone coming out of retirement, or the raucous tribute to the Clash's Joe Strummer a few years back, or even the hushed opening by a reunited Simon & Garfunkel in 2003.

• The Radiohead show – the second of a two-night stand
– drew plenty of celebrity fans: Mary-Kate Olsen was
spotted, and Foo Fighters singer Dave Grohl stuck around
for an afterparty at the outdoor venue. At the bash, Grohl drank a beer,
posed for pictures with fans and cracked everybody up. Keanu Reeves took in the show as well. And the night before, newlyweds Ellen
DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi were among the stars rocking out to
the British band.

Pity the music industry. Between 99-cent downloads, free - if not always legal -file-sharing services and MP3 blogs, and an increasingly fragmented audience, it's desperately in need of a new revenue stream.
Jazz trumpeter and broadcaster Humphrey Lyttelton, host of the surreal British radio game show "I'm Sorry, I Haven't a Clue," died Friday at the age of 86.
Radiohead made news when it allowed its fans to pay whatever they thought was reasonable to download the band's latest album. Now, innovative restaurants around the world are doing the same thing -- letting their patrons decide how much their meal is worth.
Thom Yorke, Radiohead's elfin lead singer, has talked in interviews about the apocalyptic changes that await us in the not-so-distant future. So perhaps it wasn't surprising that he and his band mates recently dumped EMI, their longtime record company, and released their new album on their Web site.
Artists fear shake-up of music group EMI will impact record sales. CNN's Jim Boulden reports.
The Rolling Stones announced Thursday they have signed a deal to release the soundtrack to their Martin Scorsese-directed concert film through Universal Music Group
It's not a bad little storage apparatus: a disc of plastic and foil, encoded with digital representations of sound and image, never physically touched by the laser beam with which it's read.
More than half of those who downloaded Radiohead's payment-optional online album In Rainbows chose to pay nothing
In the music business, promotion is paramount --- and that's why the bracelets are such a great idea.
To hear some tell it, a revolution began last night as most in the U.S. drifted off to sleep. At midnight Eastern Standard Time, the British "post-rock" group Radiohead released its newest album "In Rainbows" directly to fans over a Web site of its own creation. The price? Whatever fans decide they'd like to pay - which also includes taking it for free.
English rock group Radiohead turned the music industry on its head today, releasing its seventh studio album "In Rainbows" as a digital download from the band's Web site.
Before its new CD hits stores, Radiohead will sell downloads, letting fans set the price. CNN's Phil Black reports.
The band's new album is available only on its website; the price is up to you. That has record labels very, very nervous
When it comes to audio, most people don't spend enough on speakers or headphones. Despite the fact that your headphones are the pieces of the puzzle that actually make the sound that you hear, the vast majority of the people I see around New York City have nasty $10 earbuds hooked up to an iPod or Creative Zen, players which cost hundreds of dollars.
A side effect to today's fractured, tumultuous music industry is the fluctuating meaning of the greatest-hits album.
'Little worse for wear,'' raps Beck on the shambling opener of his new album, ''but I'm wearing it well.'' Very well, in fact. Last year's "Guero" debuted at No. 2 on the charts. And if the CD release glut kept it from making a more lasting impact, perhaps that inspired "The Information," a swarming, psychedelic set partly about data overload.

It's widely assumed that singer Thom Yorke calls most of the shots in Radiohead. But the other four guys aren't just window dressing -- as Yorke's solo debut, "The Eraser," proves.
There was feverish buying of tickets for Britain's V Festival Friday, with tickets being offered on eBay for up to £615 ($1,075) a pair -- nearly three times their face value -- within hours of them going on sale.
Britpop seems to rally itself once a decade, and it's about that time again. The last round sputtered in the late '90s -- Oasis sunk by hubris insupportable without more ''Wonderwall''s, Radiohead and Blur choosing artiness over world domination (though Radiohead achieved it anyway).
Noel Gallagher, Damon Albarn, Jamelia, Coldplay, The Darkness and Travis have been lined up to sing in a new version of Band Aid's original mega-hit "Do They Know it's Christmas?" British media reports say.
The thriller "Van Helsing" is expected to have cost between $160 million and $200 million to make. That's a lot of overhead for a movie about a well-coiffed guy battling the creatures of the night.
