Mirror concert accident

Two dancers for Hong Kong boy band Mirror were seriously injured after they were hit by a giant LED video screen that fell from the ceiling.

They said in a statement that they regret the accident and expressed concern for the two injured performers, saying that they would provide support for the victims.

The concert was immediately halted and audiences were asked to leave the venue, but told they could retain their tickets until further notice.
