A pyrotechnics display has backfired for 5 Seconds Of Summer as Michael Clifford was scorched while performing on stage at Wembley in London.
The incident proved to be the end of the gig, which was at encore stage, meaning fans of the Sydney rock/ poppers weren't in danger of being denied a date with their heroes. Yesterday, Dave Grohl confirmed his 'leg end' status when he broke his leg in just the second song of a performance in Sweden, only to have his leg set backstage before returning to finish his gig.
Ashton Irwin informed the crowd “Michael has hurt himself so we will not be continuing the show right now. “Just want to say thank you so much for coming. He is OK. You guys have been the best crowd we could ask for tonight. Thank you so much.” A fan loaded a video of the announcement to Twitter.
Hope he's back soon. Again, feel better @Michael5SOS. #GetWellSoonMichael pic.twitter.com/yEi70OjBK2
