From the official Iron Maiden website:

We have been contacted by Polish News TV about a tragic train crash earlier today on the line from Krakow, Poland to Prague involving a number of fatalities and many casualties. This apparently occurred near Ostrava in the Czech Pepublic.

We are shocked and horrified at this news and wish to pass on our heartfelt condolences to the families of those who died and our best hopes and prayers for the rapid recovery of the many injured. Apparently there were many Polish and Czech Maiden fans on board on the way to tonight's concert at the Slavia Football Stadium in Prague, which is why we were contacted and informed of this by the Polish media. I will be discussing with the band how best to pay our respects at the concert tonight, a concert we are dedicating to all of those involved in this horrific incident. The latest news from the BBC is copied below. We hope that you fans will join us in praying for all those involved.

At least six people are reported to have died and many others have been injured after a train ran into a collapsed bridge in the Czech Republic.

Very sad news....
The thoughts go out to the families of the victims.
 
I've only just watched the news on Swiss TV and immediately I saw where the accident happend I knew that there must have been Maiden fans involved heading for the gig to Prague. Then they said that many people were indeed on their way to the concert tonight by the English hardrock band Iron Maiden.

What a shock this is. I do hope the band is capable of coping with this disaster.
 
Yeah, they rocked, and Bruce even mentioned the crash two times and dedicated
Revelations (I hope I am correct - the third track from the setlist)
to the victims and suggested that sitting people should stand to honor the people which they did. Sad but nice.
