On the second of his two nights at the Apollo Theater in New York’s Harlem, Drake halted the show after he was informed that a concertgoer fell.
Drake and 21 Savage were forced to halt their Sunday concert at the Apollo Theater in New York after a concertgoer fell from the historic Harlem venue’s balcony section.
The person dropped from the lower mezzanine and landed in the orchestra section, the theater confirmed Monday in a statement posted on Twitter.
“Drake, Apollo and [sponsor] SiriusXM halted the show immediately when learning of a potential fan injury and standard protocols were taken,” the theater said.
“The fan and other audience members reported that they were OK. No major injuries have been reported,” the statement continued, adding that the Apollo will further investigate the incident.
The fall occurred on the second of Drake’s two nights at the iconic theater. According to Insider, the person fell about an hour and a half into the show, just after Drake welcomed 21 Savage onstage for a series of duets. The artists stopped the show after a crew member notified them of the incident.
“Just have to make sure somebody’s OK,” Drake told the audience, Insider reported. The house lights came on and security guards could be seen running through the crowd toward the area where the fan landed.
