Artists React To Humboldt Hockey Tragedy

Music stars are among the Canadians mourning the loss of so many lives following a horrific crash in Saskatchewan between a tractor-trailer and a bus carrying players from the Humboldt Broncos hockey team.

By Saturday evening, the RCMP said 15 people were killed and 14 injured.

The tragedy sparked words of condolences from prime minister Justin Trudeau, U.S. president Donald Trump and American stars like Debra Messing and Ellen DeGeneres.

Here are some of the messages tweeted out by Canadian music stars:

#HumboltBroncos The heartbreak of all the families and friends of these young men- is felt from coast to coast- to the far north and beyond. So awful. So sudden. So incomprehensible. We are all so sorry for these young lives lost and are mourning with you.

The @HumboldtBroncos tragedy extends beyond a small town, beyond hockey & has touched us all. A group of fathers, uncles, sons & brothers taken from us on their way to do what they loved. This loss is shouldered by the entire Country. #Humboldt you are all in our thoughts.

I am crying. This is every parents worst nightmare. I will be in prayer and will also be regretting that what faith I feel helps in the sharing of these parents grief cannot be accompanied by any works....it’s a helpless feeling. I wish there was something I could do. https://t.co/NICdJcj2MC
