Westlife concert interupted by health and safety fears

Fans were in danger of being crushed at the concert in Jakarta.



Irish boyband Westlife were forced to interrupt their concert in Indonesia last night (05.10.11) when they had fears for the safety of the crowd.
The group took to the stage as part of their Far East tour, and were performing in Jakarta but had to leave the stage for half an hour while security fears were being addressed.
The issues started when hysterical fans began to surge forward, alerting security that there were people about to be crushed to death if something was not done.
Posting on his Twitter account, band member Kian said, “We had to stop our show in Indonesia for 30 minutes for the safety of our fans. We feared someone would die. Thankfully no one did.”

  1. yes, it was very saddest moment for fans in Indonesia, but it's not fans fault. It was becaused the place had over capacity. Marygops, as the promotor, had to responsibility. And they had already apologized to all fans.
