The two men have now been named on the BBC page linked to above.

The tour manager for the Cornwall-based Fisherman's Friends male singing group has been killed in an accident at a Surrey music venue.

Paul McMullen died and Trevor Grills, one of the singers, suffered serious head injuries when a large metal door fell at G Live in Guildford.

The Port Isaac group had been due to perform there on Saturday evening.

A statement issued on behalf of the group's management team said Mr Grills remained in hospital.

"There is no update on his condition," it added.

Police were called to the London Road venue just after 11:45 GMT on Saturday.

Surrey Police said one man suffered serious injuries to his legs, but was declared dead at the scene.

Shirley Gladwin, who works for Jon Cleve, one of the members of the Fisherman's Friends, said: "It's very sad, because they are so popular and do so much for the village.

Darcus Beese, president of the group's label Island Records, said: "Everyone here is shocked by this tragic event, our hopes and prayers go out to the friends and families of those involved."

A statement from G Live said a serious accident had resulted "in the tragic death of a member of a touring visiting company's personnel".

"This is a terribly sad day and our thoughts are with the family of the deceased at this incredibly difficult time," it said.

Surrey Police is investigating and the Health and Safety Executive - which investigates work-based accidents - has been notified.

Fans have posted tributes on the Fisherman's Friends' Facebook page.

One, from Nicola Eastwood, said: "We were due at the gig, so, so sorry to hear what happened. Tragic. Our love, thoughts and best wishes to everyone involved."

The Fisherman's Friends were given a £1m recording contract after being discovered by music industry bosses during a pub concert.

They have since performed at the Glastonbury Festival.

Ealing Studios is working on developing a film charting the rise of the a capella group.
