A 32 year-old man by the name of Hugo Sanchez fell to his death during The Weeknd’s tour opener at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia on Thursday (July 14).
According to the Philadelphia Inquirer, police say Sanchez was sitting on an escalator rail before falling 40-feet. His fall was accidental and he is said to have suffered extreme head trauma. The accident happened just after the show had wrapped up and the crowd was filing out of the stadium.
The man was rushed to the hospital where he was pronounced dead shortly after.
The Weeknd’s tour rolls on with stadium shows throughout North America. The opening show was supposed to happen in Toronto on July 8, but had to be rescheduled due to most of Canada’s internet being down that day. The show will now happen Sept. 22.
