Sugarland Returns To The Stage After Indiana State Fair Tragedy (VIDEO)

Just as Sugarland took the stage for their first performance since the August 13th tragedy at the Indian State Fair, Jennifer Nettles had this to say before performing an acoustic version of their latest hit "Love" .  "I am sure that by now all of you are well aware of the tragedy that occurred at the Indiana State Fair on Saturday,"  "Moments before we were about to take the stage, a huge gust of wind blew in and collapsed the entire stage, wounding over forty people and killing five. In honor of those people who were wounded, and those beautiful lives that were lost, we ask that you would stand now and join us in a moment of silence."

Sugarland also posted a letter on their website stating the following:

"We are in the process of planning a private memorial in Indiana, to honor those fans who died,"  "We would first like to hold space so that their families can have time to go through their own services and memorials. Until that time we are holding vigil for them. We join them on their mourning benches. And we stand in the gap asking God to offer them peace and healing. For those suffering from injury we hold you up with prayers for complete healing of your own."
