Friday night saw Bring Me The Horizon wrap up the current leg of their ‘First Love World Tour’ with a performance at London’s iconic Alexandra Palace. The second of a two-night residency at the venue, the band’s set was a highly-sought after ticket, serving as one of the biggest shows on the tour.

Sadly, the show was marred by tragedy, with a number of outlets reporting the death of a young fan during the evening

As Alt Press reports, both Alexandra Palace and Bring Me The Horizon took to social media to address the news, sharing their condolences in the process.

While the circumstances of the young fan’s death are unclear, some of those in attendance have taken to Twitter to share their stories of the incident, including SHVPES vocalist Griffin Dickinson who later deleted his comments.

“Last night at a BMTH show I saw a kid die,” Dickinson wrote. “He was carried out by 3 dudes & paramedics tried to resuscitate him to no avail. Please please please look out for people around you.”

“Please please please look out for people around you. Don’t leave it up for someone else,” he continued. “If someone looks unwell, CHECK on them. In any situation, on a tube, at a gig, whatever. ”

“I feel like British ‘awkwardness’ gets in the way of helping people. Don’t be afraid to call an ambulance. Don’t act like it ain’t your business. ACT on it. Rest in peace to that dude. Thoughts are with his family [right now].”

While Bring Me The Horizon have stated that they plan to release a further statement about this tragic incident, there’s no word yet if it will affect upcoming shows. At this stage, the band are set to hit the road again in January, before making their way down to Australia in April.
