Sugarland : Moment Of Silence

Sugarland’s moment of silence in Albuquerque on August 18 marked the band’s return to the stage for the first time since their stage collapsed at the Indiana State Fair five days earlier.  Surrounded by her band mates and crew, Jennifer Nettles asked the audience for a moment of silence:

“I am sure that by now all of you are well aware of the tragedy that occurred at the Indiana State Fair on Saturday.,Moments before we were about to take the stage, a huge gust of wind blew in and collapsed the entire stage, wounding over 40 people and killing five. In honor of those people who were wounded and those beautiful lives that were lost, we ask you to stand and join us now in a moment of silence.”

The band followed the moment of silence with a stirring rendition of “Love.”  “So we know, Albuquerque, that you guys came to see a show. Obviously, in the loss of our set and our instruments and our equipment, this Incredible Machine looks very different right now. But we are going to try our best to put on our professional faces and come out here for you and celebrate a moment with you of the joy and the healing power of music,” Jennifer added.
