Five British nationals have died in a car crash in Sweden, the Foreign Office has said.
It is understood members of the indie band Viola Beach were involved in the accident, which happened on Saturday in the Swedish capital Stockholm.
Local media say the car plunged from a highway bridge into a canal.
The Foreign Office said it was in contact with the local authorities and supporting the families of the victims.
The Warrington-based band, who were due to play a gig in Guildford in Surrey on Saturday, were part of the line-up for Swedish music festival Where is the Music? on Friday.
The four-piece released their debut single Swings & Waterslides last year and had featured on BBC Introducing, which showcases up-and-coming music artists.
