Two people died and one was injured on Tuesday as a man fell seven floors at a concert hall in Sweden’s Uppsala city, some 60 kilometers (32.4 miles) north of Stockholm, police said.
The Uppsala Konsert & Kongress was hosting a tribute concert to ABBA with covers of their famous songs. The event attracted around 1,000 people, according to Swedish media.
The event, scheduled to take place at 7:30 p.m. local time (1830 GMT), was canceled after the fatal incident occurred just over a half hour earlier.
