Sugarland Plans "Private Memorial" in Indiana

Country group plans to resume concert tour Thursday
By Stan Lehr

Sugarland is planning a "private memorial in Indiana" to honor those who died in the Indiana State Fair stage collapse.

Band members say they will first give the victims' families "time to go through their own services and memorials."  A statement posted to their website says there "is healing in our working together."

With that, Sugarland will return to the road Thursday with a scheduled performance in Albuquerque, New Mexico.  They'll be using new instruments and equipment, to replace what they lost Saturday night.

We're also hearing that ticket sales to the Train and Maroon 5 concert--a victims' benefit now--have been halted because sales have already hit the limit.

The grandstand would have seated 15,000.  But the show is being moved to Conseco Fieldhouse, which will hold 12,000 in concert configuration.
