DENVER (AP) — A brief but fierce storm pummeled concertgoers at the iconic Red Rocks Amphitheatre near Denver with golf ball-sized hail, injuring dozens and forcing the cancellation of the show’s headliner, former One Direction member Louis Tomlinson. Authorities say as many as 90 people were treated for non-life-threatening injuries from Wednesday night’s storm and seven people were taken to the hospital. Nicole Criner and her sister covered their heads with a small plastic sign they grabbed as the storm intensified as they were trying to get to their car. Tomlinson tweeted he was “devastated” about the cancellation and promised to return.
