E S Group, the company hired to build Madonna's stage for the now cancelled concert in Marseille, where two workers died and eight others injured, have released a statement regarding the unfortunate accident.

The company is also responsible for a collapsed stage at Dodger's Stadium, Los Angeles, this past November for Madonna's show there.

Their rep said:

"We were incredibly saddened by the tragic accident during the construction of a stage at the Velodrome at Marseille. Our thoughts at this current time go out to the families and loved ones of the two men who died and to those who have been injured.

Two of our Directors have flown out to Marseille to visit the injured and to get a better understanding of what caused the accident. At present, it would not be appropriate to speculate on potential causes of the accident, but we are working closely with the French authorities to investigate what caused this incident. This is normal practice for such an incident and we will provide a further update as soon as it is possible.

There is absolutely no technical or other connection between the incident at the Dodgers Stadium in November 2008 and the tragic accident yesterday (July 16 2009) at the Velodrome in Marseille."

We hope they resolve the issue so it never happens again!

We wonder who would be held accountable!

Authorities have begun an investigation for manslaughter and involuntary work-related injuries regarding the accident that occurred while constructing the stage for Madonna's concert in Marseille, France, on Thursday.

The collapse of the stage left two men dead and eight others injured.

The hearings will begin Sunday or Monday.

Our thoughts go out to the families of the victims.

During her concert in Udine, Italy, last night, Madonna took a moment to address the accident in Marseille on Thursday, which has so far claimed 2 lives, saying:

"Before I continue the show I want to take a moment to acknowledge and pay tribute to two people who lost their lives today. I don't know if you've heard. Two men building my show in Marseille where we're going next - the crane fell and we don't know why. (Madonna names them, Brit Charles Prow, 32, and Frenchman Charles Criscenzo, 53). I hate to be associated with suffering. I want to pay tribute to their families. Let's take a moment to appreciate our family, loved ones, friends around us."

The Queen of Pop then struggled to make it through You Must Love Me number.

She paused again before Ray of Light to say, "Let's give it up for the two Charlies."

What a good little boytoy that Jesus Luz is!

While his mummy girlfriend, Madonna, is off on tour, Jesus is mulling around NYC. But while she is away, Jesus still regularly attends Kabbalah!

He was seen keeping white and clean on Saturday, the day of Shabat, just like a good like Kabbalah kid should!

We're sure Madge is so proud!

But wait, don't they wear that red string anymore? Where's his?
