Sugarland is heading back to Indianapolis for a free concert October 28th, 11 weeks after a stage collapse just before the duo was to perform at the Indiana State Fair.  The tragedy killed seven people.  The  band will play their final show of the tour at Conseco Fieldhouse.   Donations will collected during the show for the Indiana State Fair Remembrance Fund for the collapse victims.   Sugarland was about to take the stage August 13th when a strong gust of wind blew over the stage rigging.   Five fans, a security guard and a stagehand died from their injuries and more than 40 other people were hurt, some seriously.   USA Today reports as of week, the attorney general's office said a total of 50 legal claims had been filed.   "There are no words to process a moment of this magnitude and gravity. There are only prayers for peace in the hearts of the bereft, and prayers of thanksgiving for those who were spared or safe,"  Jennifer wrote on the band’s website. "A piece of our heart is left in that grandstand. May God provide peace and healing to the people of Indianapolis."   Read more here.  Sugarland said previous ticketholders will be able to get tickets to the new show starting today, and will be honored regardless of whether refunds had been received.   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1BouK7EEZIE
