ROME - US rock legend Bruce Springsteen came under criticism in Italy for going ahead with a concert in Ferrara on Thursday evening after the northern Emilia-Romagna region was battered by floods that left at least nine people dead.
Fans of The Boss took to social networks to urge him and its staff to reconsider in a sign of respect for the 11 dead and the thousands evacuated from their homes after torrential rains caused landslides and made rivers break their banks. “@springsteen please consider to reschedule your concert today. Surrounding areas have faced devastating floods. You should because: all emergency resources should be available in the affected area; we need to avoid massive traffic; out of respect for the victims”, Massimiliano Zampini tweeted.Cristiana Boi described the decision to go ahead with the show as “outrageous,” while Laura Casadei posted: “It is a scandal that they are doing Springsteen’s concert in Ferrara tonight.
