Summary
The B-52s’ set at the C Trop Music Festival in France was canceled minutes before a deadly tornado struck, forcing the band to apologize and thank their crew for keeping everyone safe. Festival organizers canceled the entire final day after evacuation and severe damage, while frontman Fred Schneider called it a “total disaster,” crediting their tour manager for urging a 10-minute delay that saved lives as hurricane-force winds hit.
