In a shocking turn of events, the highly anticipated Backstreet Boys concert scheduled for last night at the Madison Square Garden has been postponed after a section of the venue’s entrance collapsed due to severe weather conditions. The incident occurred just before fans were set to enter, resulting in injuries and chaos.
Witnesses reported that strong winds and heavy rain had been battering the city in the hours leading up to the concert. As eager fans lined up outside, a portion of the entrance roof gave way, sending debris crashing down. Emergency services were quickly dispatched to the scene, where several fans were treated for minor injuries, including cuts and bruises.
“We were just excited to see the Backstreet Boys, and suddenly, it felt like everything went dark,” said a concert-goer who was among those injured. “The next thing I knew, people were screaming and rushing away from the entrance. It was terrifying.”
