Jamie Webster has described the "horrific" situation he was placed in at his sold-out M&S Bank Arena gig on Saturday, November 19.
The Liverpool-born singer spoke to the Have a Word podcast, after fans attending the gig reported chaotic scenes, including congestion at entrances and at bars, as thousands of people arrived to watch the homecoming show. Some 11,000 people made their way to the sold-out concert to watch the 28-year-old singer perform at his highly-anticipated hometown show.
However, reports quickly surfaced online of long queues once fans entered the arena, as well as "overcrowded bars and flooded toilets". Jamie Webster announced on stage that police were at the concert before he was forced to cut his encore, and played an apparent shortened set as concern grew among the crowd.
