London,
(ANI):
Music
composer
ar
rahman
has
thanked
God
that
nobody
from
his
crew
was
killed
when
his
stage
collapsed
last
month.
Rahman"s
staff
was
injured
and
instruments
were
destroyed
when
a
lighting
rig
collapsed
during
preparations
for
a
gig
in
Detroit.
"I
thank
God
they're
all
still
alive," the
BBC
quoted
him
as
saying.
The
incident
forced
the
composer
to
postpone
several
American
and
European
dates
on
his
'Jai
Ho"
tour.
At
the
time,
Rahman
said
the
accident
had
"a
profound
effect"
on
his
band,
dancers
and
crew.
"But
it
is
the
fans
to
whom
I
send
the
most
heartfelt
apology.
It
was
a
stressful
time,"
he
added.
Rahman
has
rescheduled
shows
in
North
America
for
September.
But
on
Tuesday
he
announced
that
shows
planned
for
Zurich,
Paris
and
Mannheim
this
weekend
have
been
cancelled
"due
to
circumstances
beyond
our
control".
However,
he
has
promised
to
go
back
to
the
US
to
perform
later
this
year.
