![Whitney Houston -- Prescription Drugs Found ... Possible Drowning [Exclusive Photo Update]](http://ll-media.tmz.com/2012/02/12/0211-hero-whitney2-248x127.jpg)
TMZ has learned that several people -- including a drummer -- were injured while setting up for an Akon concert at Emory University in Atlanta.
According to several eyewitnesses, about an hour ago, crews were working about to set up lights on the stage for tonight's Fall Band Party starring Akon -- when they heard the canopy crack and fall, causing the left side of the stage to collapse. Akon was not in the area at the time.
We're told two or three people, including students, were injured. A reporter with the Emory Wheel tells TMZ that fire trucks and ambulances responded to the scene, and campus police cordoned off the area.
We're told the show for tonight has been canceled. We were unable to reach a rep for Akon.

Is Atlanta jinxed or something seems bad stuff always happens to performers here?
5 & 6 -Akon the jerk Acorn is a total fool - hopefully that boy goes away.
Akon is not a nice person, remember what he did to that young lady in Trinidad, and other young women. No, no, perhaps this is Karma. I'm surprised Emory University would have him there in the first place.
TMZ is fast! I was deciding if I should send you all the pics I just took of it, but it seems like someone else here at Emory beat me. Anyway, I was looking forward to his performance; hopefully they will reschedule.
Here's a link to local news with pic of stage:

Hasn't the earring thing gone out yet? It get's old watching men wear earring like women and call that cool. Metrosexual men these day makes you want to puke!!!
TMZ - Aren't you guys supposed to be the professionals? Who writes your posts? Surely not even interns. I'm tired of seeing mistakes on TMZ posts that a 6th grader wouldn't make. This Akon story has at least three unprofessional mistakes. Start firing incompetent people, TMZ.
