During load-out after Ed Sheeran‘s recent concert in Detroit, six workers were rushed to the hospital after suffering injuries in an incident that is now being investigated.
According to the Detroit Free Press, The Michigan Occupational Safety and Health Administration confirmed Monday (Aug. 31) that it was looking into what had happened two days prior in and around the Ford Field vehicle tunnel, where the injured crew members were reportedly hit by falling pieces of equipment.

In a statement shared with Billboard, the city’s fire department explained that first responders had indeed “responded to a report of an accident” at the venue late at night to provide “triage support due to multiple injuries.”
“Six adults were transported to the hospital,” it continued. “Two were taken by Superior Ambulance, who were already on site, staffing the event. Four were transported by Detroit EMS. Of those transported, no injuries appear to be life-threatening. At the time of transport, two patients were in serious condition and four were in stable condition.”
Billboard has also reached out to reps for Sheeran, who has not publicly commented on the incident.
Ford Field thanked the fire department and EMS “for their rapid response” in a statement and added, “Out of respect for the people involved and the integrity of that review, we will not speculate on the cause.”
Sheeran played in Detroit on Aug. 29 as part of his ongoing Loop Tour. The trek first kicked off in January and is set to wrap in November following several more United States dates and a Latin American stretch.
The British pop star’s most recent full-length, Play, dropped in September last year, debuting at No. 5 on the Billboard 200 and No. 1 on the U.K. albums chart.
