Tyler, the Creator show cancelled after two killed in crane collapse

Sets by Tyler, the Creator and Massive Attack were suspended on Sunday at Mexico City's AXE Ceremonia music festival following an "unfortunate incident", organisers shared.

A crane collapse at the event the day before caused the deaths of two people.

"With deep sadness, we confirm the passing of the two people who were injured during today's incident," AXE Ceremonia said in a statement Saturday.

"We are deeply heartbroken by this loss. We are reaching out to their families to support them during this incredibly difficult time and to provide them with all our care and solidarity. The safety of our community has always been our priority, and we continue, as from the very beginning, to maintain close collaboration and complete transparency with the authorities."

According to authorities, a wind gust toppled a crane that was holding a decorative metallic object, Billboard reports.

The crane fell on "two people who received pre-hospital care at the scene, and were later urgently transported to the hospital, where they unfortunately passed away".

The two deceased were later identified as photographers Miguel Angel Rojas and Berenice Giles.

While the festival continued on Saturday following the accident - including headlining sets by Charli XCX and K-pop band Tomorrow X Together -organisers and the local mayor's office announced the cancellation of Sunday's festivities.
