Bruce Springsteen has been criticised for going ahead with a concert in Italy near where floods have killed nine people, submerged 35 towns and caused 250 landslides this week.
The American singer’s gig for 50,000 fans on Thursday in Ferrara, about 30 miles from the epicentre of the flooding, was described by a local councillor as an insult to the “pain, desperation and difficulty” of thousands of flood evacuees.
