Roughly 50 people suffered injuries yesterday at a shopping mall in Moscow, where Till Lindemann, the lead singer of the German band Rammstein, signed his autograph for fans.
According to the news website M24.ru, fans started lining up for autographs several hours before Lindemann was due to arrive. Some people even began fainting when the waiting area became extremely crowded.
