Michael Bublé forced to stop UK concert as crowds 'scream' for medical help

Michael Bublé was forced to stop his performance at Exeter's Powderham Castle on Monday after the crowd began 'shouting' and 'screaming' for help from paramedics.

The Canadian crooner, 46, played the legendary venue for his last stop on his UK tour of 'An Evening with Michael Bublé' which was rescheduled after being cancelled last year due to Covid restrictions.

The chart-topping singer returned to UK and toured all across the country during the month of July following the release of his latest album 'Higher' earlier this year - but the tour hasn't gone as smoothly as expected.

During his long-awaited concert in Powderham Castle on Monday, Michael was forced to stop his stellar show after the audience began shouting at the top of their lungs.

Confused, he asked the crowd what was going on until he realised that one of his fans needed urgent medical attention.

Speaking to The Mirror, concert-goer Carla Snell revealed: "There were people in the back of the crowd and Michael said: "What's going on why is all these people shouting?' And then he asked for the paramedics to go and he talked to the crowd about not being scared.

"People in the audience were shouting and trying to get his attention as paramedics were required.

"He sort of made a joke of it at the end," Carla added.

Disaster also struck during Michael's concert in Hatfield the night before, when thousands of fans were left stranded due to 'insane' traffic after the show ended.

Unimpressed fans of Bublé insisted that getting in and out of the concert was 'extremely dangerous'.

Several concert-goers took to Twitter to slam event organisers as they complained that there were very few traffic marshals at Hatfield House in Hertfordshire, to help the 25,000 fans leave after the concert.

One disappointed concert-goer tweeted: "It was a ridiculously scary, overwhelming and dangerous situation".

Previous concerts by the singer at Waddesdon Manor in Buckinghamshire and Chewton Glen in Hampshire have also faced criticism for poor parking arrangements.

Shedding light on the stressful situation, one fan of the Canadian crooner told BBC : "I've been to a lot of concerts in my life but my experience was this was an awful.

"It was a shambles of an event.

"It was an extremely dangerous situation."
