Sugarland Pays Tribute to Victims of Indiana State Fair Tragedy at Albuquerque Show

Valarie Allyn BienasSugarland returned to the concert stageh in Albuquerque, NM Thursday night for the first time since last Saturday's collapse of a stage at the Indiana State Fair.  Lead singer Jennifer Nettles led a moment of silence at the top of the show in honor of the five people who died and those who were wounded in the accident. Sugarland began the performance with their song "Love."

Fans attending the concert were deeply affected watching coverage of the stage collapse. One fan told ABC News Radio, "I got teary-eyed. It was kind of like…Oh my God." Sugarland will hold a private memorial for the families of those lost in Indiana in the coming weeks.
