Guns N’ Roses singer Axl Rose has released the following statement via his official Twitter account:

ATTENTION: The March 14th Guns N’ Roses show in Rio De Janeiro at Apoteose Stadium has been officially canceled for this evening due to the stage collapsing because of heavy rains. Stay tuned for more info and possible rescheduling information as we receive it.

Crew members were injured, but there were no fatalities. No band members were injured.

Rio update on Sunday 14th March via Axl’s Twitter:

All injuries appear to be minor. There were originally radio reports of a fatality which has fortunately turned out to be false. Initial reports are that our staging is for the most part ok but a more accurate assessment is being made. No word yet on if the show will be moved to tomorrow the 15th or another night. Reportedly Baz’s truck driver is ok as well. Thank you again for your understanding. Axl-

They’re now saying the venue actually experienced a minor tornado. Either that or regional Global media blowing usual hot air. J/k !! Love, El Gordo!!
