Country group, Sugarland, has been in the spotlight lately for the controversial concert disaster in Indiana. As a result of very bad weather, the stage at the outdoor concert collapsed. Many people were hurt and seven people died. It was said that Sugarland had been asked to delay the concert until the weather passed, but the group refused because they needed to get to their next show. New insight has been made, claiming the musical group was never asked to postpone the concert. "Furthermore, in a response to a lawsuit, Sugarland says it had nothing to do with the tragic accident, saying instead "a gust of wind of unprecedented intensity" caused the staging to blow over onto the crowd, and that the incident was "a true accident or act of God," WRTV reports." Unfortunately, it is very hard to find the true problem with what happened at this concert. Though many people do blame Sugarland, the most important thing to the musical group is their fans.
After hearing about this tragic event on the televison and in the paper, it's really sad to think that so many people are wrapped up in blaming others for something that is very uncontrollable. In the end, it doesn't really matter if Sugarland did or did not try to postpone the concert. There was still a very tragic event that happened and we need to think more about the families of the people who were hurt or died due to this event, than trying to blame someone. My hope is that the true fans of Sugarland will continue to support them during this hard time. Sugarland is still the same fun loving country group that we enjoy singing with and listening to often.
