Two men dismantling a Rolling Stones' stage at the Vicente Calderon stadium in Madrid, fell to their deaths from a scaffold tower on Friday as part of the stage frame collapsed.

The deceased were named as Benno Goldewijk, 44, from Holland, and Alfredo Pecina Matias, 38, of Spain. Two other Spanish workers were injured in the accident, one critically.

Police said that three workers fell around 10 metres from the scaffold, landing on a fourth man.
