I am not sure if this is reliable news or not, but it appears that during James Blunt’s concert on June 28 at Biel in Downtown Beirut, he threw himself at the crowds thinking they’d catch him but instead found himself on the ground. Apparently no one understood what he was trying to do so they stepped aside. He did not get hurt. [Link]
If anyone has or found a footage of this incident, please do share.
I was there but on the other side and yes he fell off the stage. At first I thought the people pulled him down since the crowd was literally crazy that night, but turns out he apparently jumped.
The security dudes then came and pulled him back up.
Also during the concert random girls were jumping on stage and running. The security were running after them but couldn’t catch them. Blunt looked kinda frightened at some point.
Crazy night.
Wow,
I never expected that in a James Blunt concert.
hahahahaha the girls did jump & security pushed them off!!!! 🙂 It was hilarious hahahaha
He did jump & they did catch him. They almost did not let him leave ♥♥♥
I was there as well – he did jump on the crowd and he was carried for all of 5 seconds before the teenage girls he jumped on couldn’t carry him any longer. It was the funniest thing to watch.
Placebo’s bassist had the same fate a few years ago in byblos. During one of the last songs he jumped into the audience for a crowd surf only to find himself on the floor. He on the other hand DID get hurt..
We are a sucky audience after all..
LOL! Omgg..I can’t believe this! Not funny that the bassist got hurt..but still. Just goes to show how concert etiquette is different around the world!
