According to a report by the Cleveland Police, the man was pronounced dead at the scene.
Numan paid his respects on Twitter, stating: “We are all utterly devastated by the fatal accident involving our tour bus earlier today. Every one of us is filled with a sadness that made it impossible to even consider playing our show this evening and out of respect it would of been entirely wrong.
