The Rock am Ring music festival in western Germany was suspended Saturday after more than 70 people were hospitalized as a result of a lightning storm. Organizers reportedly urged tens of thousands of festival-goers to seek shelter as the severe weather is expected for much of the weekend. A spokesperson denied that the festival's lack of preparation led to injuries, instead blaming the "catastrophic" weather situation. Scheduled headliners for this year's Rock am Ring include the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Tenacious D.
