Asake planned 'special announcement' at gig before '3000 people broke doors'

Asake took to social media hours before his gig was cancelled last night to tell fans 'a special announcement' would be made during the show.

The singer, 27, shared posts to both his Instagram and Twitter followers celebrating a career achievement at 12.04pm on Thursday, ahead of his gig in Brixton which saw a suspected crush leave four fans in critical condition.

Asake has since issued a statement regarding last night's incident, saying his heart is with those who were injured last night and he is in the process of reaching out to individuals.
