Jamiroquai cancel gig after death

Jamiroquai were forced to cancel a recent performance in France after the death of a local crew member. 

The 'Canned Heat' stars were "shocked and saddened" to learn that a 26-year-old roadie had fallen around 50ft at the venue, which tragically proved fatal. They issued a statement on Facebook and their official website that said:

"Due to a tragic accident at the Halle Toni Garnier Arena, the gig at Lyon on 24th March (tonight) is regrettably cancelled. The band were shocked and saddened when told the news, and out of respect immediately felt the right decision was to cancel the show. A police investigation is taking place which would also have prevented the show from happening."
