Bad News and Good from Bonnaroo
Jazz legend Ornette Coleman collapsed on stage at the Bonnaroo music festival in Tennessee yesterday, due to heat stroke. The 77-year-old saxophonist was rushed to an on-site medical tent and given IV fluids and is now in the hospital under a doctor's care. Coleman is expected to recover completely.
The festival, now in its sixth year, was once again a sell-out, with 80,000 attendees making the trek to Tennessee to see the Police, Tool, Wilco, and the White Stripes (among many others). Thanks to a ticket price increase Bonnaroo took in $17 million, making it the top-grossing festival in the world according to Billboard Boxscore.
