Article on the Roskilde festival deaths (Prince reference)

http://www.volkskrant.nl/...24293.html



there's a story at the frontpage of the Volkskrant (dutch paper) that tells about concertpromoter MOJO, in reference to the drama that happened at the Roskilde festival, where 8 people died because they were sufficated.



Mojo says this will never happen to festivals/concerts arranged by them, because they have different fences, Thanx to Prince.



Back in '90 prince did a concert in Oslo, and he saw 5 girls faint. he then phoned MOJO(at 4:30 in the morning) to cancel the 3 concerts in Holland because he was afraid people might die.



Mojo guaranteed Prince that no-one would even faint, and that's when they started to use a different kind of fence, other than the ones used at Roskilde. Prince played those concerts, and Mojo says they saved the European tour.
that's what the article says. Ithought i'd translate it
