Celine Dion tour crew member reportedly receives electric shock while 50ft above stage

A member of Celine Dion's touring entourage was reportedly electrocuted while setting up a stage for the diva's Courage World Tour in Montreal, Canada.

According to the New York Post's gossip column Page Six, the incident occurred on Tuesday when the My Heart Will Go On singer's crew were preparing for a show in her home country.

"He was electrocuted on Tuesday at the Bell Centre while climbing in the rigging 50 feet above her stage," a source told the publication. "He was thrown off the rigging, dislocating his shoulder, but was caught by a safety harness and survived."

Another source added: "A local guy working on the crew was electrocuted. It was a little shock. He's out of the hospital and doing OK. It's ironic that it happened the same week she got sick."

Dion is expected to resume her tour Oct. 4.
