Three hurt during Bruce Springsteen concert in Germany

Two women, aged 22 and 50, and a man, 48, were injured and taken to hospital. 

Despite the incident, the concert continued, a police spokesman said.

Gelsenkirchen is nearly 60km north-east of Dusseldorf in Germany's most populous state, North Rhine-Westphalia. 

Police said initial findings showed that a piece of more than a metre detached from a corner of the video cube. The area beneath the cube was cordoned off.

Police are investigating why the metal object fell and also whether other parts could have potentially come loose.

Thousands of fans attended Springsteen's concert at Gelsenkirchen's Veltins Arena. It was the rock star's third and final performance in Germany as part of his European tour, following earlier shows in Berlin and Frankfurt.
