Di Nocera said the roof was about two-thirds complete and collapsed gradually.
"Since it did not collapse right away, that allowed several people to get out, to avoid being hit," he added.
Madonna's July 19 concert in Marseille has been canceled, Di Nocera noted. No makeup date was immediately announced.
