From Billy Currington's people and Billy:
Due to severe storms and tornadic weather activity on Saturday night, the stage at the Big Valley Jamboree music festival in Camrose, Alberta, Canada's largest country music festival, collapsed where singer Billy Currington was performing. Currington was on the last song of his set when the wind blew the staging down on top of him and his band.
Currington was taken to the hospital and suffered a minor concussion but is expected to make a full recovery. He has been released from the hospital and has returned to his home in Nashville. Currington's bass player Alex Stevens was pinned under the wreckage of the stage for half an hour while rescue personnel removed debris to free him. Stevens underwent immediate surgery to repair a severed artery and nerves in his left arm and is currently receiving treatment in Nashville. Currington sent a message to his fans today via Twitter, "The boys and I are very grateful to be home and for life itself. We thank you for your prayers and concern and will see you on the road again soon." Currington also comments from his home in Nashville, "my heart goes out to the family of Donna Moore who was killed and all of the other fans who were hurt on Saturday."

Oh Billy!! Thank GOD you are alright! I say prayers for those who were hurt, and for the poor woman who was killed - I pray for her family to be strong enough to withstand the terrible loss they have experienced. They say GOD works in mysterious ways, I cannot imagine GOD wanted this to happen, I suspect lucifer had a talon in this evil!
ReplyDeleteBilly, you still look cute as he** with your black eye, I will continue to say prayers for all who were hurt and damaged. Please keep up all the great work you all do, maybe a special song for Donna Moore is in order?
I just have to say this Billy...for a man as young as you are, you sure know how to do it! Your voice is great, even if I had never seen you, I would love your songs for their content and for the way you make them sound. People Are Crazy is my message alert on my cell phone, by the way.
Stay strong, all of you guys, cos all of you are very, very good and more enjoyable than I can putt into words!
Vaya con Dios
