WRONG PLACE, WRIGHT TIME
Singer Martha Wainwright was among the victims of Sunday’s scaffolding collapse in SoHo. The 41-year-old “Around the Bend” performer (below) told fans at her Sunday night show that she was in the wrong place at the wrong time earlier in the day when strong gusts of wind caused a scaffolding on Broadway and Spring St. to fall on five passersby.
Wainwright said she’d suffered a “badly bruised right shoulder, but was joking about it,” according to one concertgoer at her City Winery performance. She was also in decent enough shape to attend the venue’s “Guitar Mash” event before taking the stage.
“She was great, by the way,” our witness reported. “Super funny and droll and talented. And, apparently, tough as s---, too.”
