Bruno Mars was forced to stop his concert on Tuesday at Glasgow Green, Scotland.
The Grammy winner was forced to evacuate the stage due to a fireworks malfunction which caused a small fire. The concert was halted only temporarily, after which the singer returned to the stage to belt out his biggest hits. The fire was put out by the concert’s tech team. As all of this was happening, a safety message was shown on the screen that read, “This is a safety announcement. It is necessary to stop the show temporarily. Further information to follow.”
A spokesperson for DF Concerts said: “During the Bruno Mars show, there was an incident involving one of the stage lights meaning the show was stopped temporarily. Thanks to the quick thinking of our stage team who assessed the situation, this incident was quickly responded to, allowing the show to continue safely.”
a concert-goer told ET that four songs into his set, Mars suddenly stopped singing, telling the audience that he needs to stop the show as he was, in fact, walking off the stage.
Despite the ordeal, the singer kept positive and as he returned to the stage he sang, “we burned the stage down in Glasgow.” He then added, “Better call the fire department when the Hooligans get on stage!”
