AceShowbiz - The Backstreet Boys have been forced to scrap a gig they had to reschedule in August after several people were injured when a large tent collapsed.
At least 14 people were injured when the outdoor pavilion at the WinStar World Casino and Resort in Thackerville, Oklahoma, was damaged by severe wind and rain and an awning fell on fans waiting for the concert to begin. The stage and equipment was also damaged, forcing the Backstreet Boys to postpone the gig.
The group was hoping to reschedule the show, but on Wednesday, September 03, the bandmates announced it has been permanently axed.
