The band had been scheduled to perform on BECK Caulfield Guineas Race Day, a prominent Australian horse race that got its start back in 1881 and now takes place every year in October. The band had been planning to perform “Superheroes” and other hit songs at the event on the race track’s front lawn starting at 6:30 p.m. after the last in a series of horse-racing events.
MELBOURNE, Australia — Irish pop-rock trio The Script canceled the show set for Oct. 11 after staging elements collapsed during setup prior to the show, according to reports. Although workers were on site at the horseracing track where the band had been scheduled to perform, no injuries were reported in the Oct. 10 mishap. “So sorry we can’t play,” band members tweeted to fans after the accident. “The stage collapsed, thank God nobody was hurt. We’ll be back soon.”
