DUNDEE rockers The View have issued an apology to fans after their London show was cancelled after last night's bust-up in Manchester.
A video circulated on social media shows The View's lead singer Kyle Falconer being held back by crew members and guitarist Pete Reilly, as the frontman shouts "I'll f***ing kill you," to the band's bassist Kieran Webster.
The Dundee trio were playing down in Manchester at the Deaf Insitute last night as part of their comeback tour.
The statement posted on Twitter read: "Unfortunately we are having to postpone tonight's London show.
"Our promoter is working to resolve the situation. Please keep hold of your tickets for now and we will make a further announcement in a few days.
"Massive apologies to all our fans."
The bust-up came on Webster's birthday – just hours after the Facebook page publicly wished him a happy birthday.

One person said: "I think I’ll pause buying the academy 2 tickets then."
Another added: "Having just purchased tickets for Cambridge in November I'm not convinced we'll be going now..."
While a different user posted: “Well that’s them done before it even started.”
A fourth wrote: "I'm in total shock. It was mint, too. Don't know what the f*** kicked all that off but Kyle has serious anger issues to go from 0-60 so quickly. Ruined a class night."
The band are due to play TRNSMT this summer, alongside a number of different festivals up and down the country.
