| Kylie moments before the stage dive that killed 500 |
There were tragic scenes at the Apollo theatre last night when pop dynamo Kylie Minogue crushed an entire audience with a stage dive at a warm up gig on her tour. The Australian pocket rocket attempted the outlandish maneuver on her closing number 'I should be so Lucky'. However it didn't prove to be so lucky for the 500 in attendance that were crushed as she took a courageous leap off the stage, a height of five feet. As reports started to come in, it was announced by the venue owners that were no survivors of the event. Kylie released a statement via her website stating 'Wow sorry peeps. I guess I have put on a couple pounds, Better the Devil you know eh?' She joked.

| Cox - 'It's just good science' |
People remain baffled how the diminutive pop starlet managed to crush an entire audience, but physicist and former keyboard player of D-ream Brian Cox explains the science behind the tragedy.
'You know if you drop a five pence piece from the top of the Eiffel tower it will kill someone on the ground due to the velocity of its descent, same rules apply here. It just goes to show when you don't know your science, tragedies like this can occur.'

| Classy Kylie performs at the vigil |
Families flocked together outside the theatre last night and held a vigil in honour of the dead. June Fagskin who lost five children in the crush spoke out 'It is a tragedy no doubt about it, but if anyone were to crush my kids to death, I'm glad it was Kylie.' Kylie also performed at the wake much to the mourners delight. They danced the night away to an hour set consisting of hits such as 'Feels so good,' 'Breathe' and 'Better get outta my way.'
