Incident at Drake Concert at Apollo Theater Reminds of the Importance of Audience Safety
On Sunday night, a fan at a Drake concert fell from the mezzanine into the orchestra at the world-famous Apollo Theater in Harlem. The incident happened about 90 minutes into the show, right after Drake brought out collaborator 21 Savage.
According to Insider, security quickly alerted Drake to the incident, and the Canadian rapper quickly shut down the show.
“Just have to make sure somebody’s OK,” he said. The rappers left the stage for about 15 minutes, and the house lights were brought up as on-site emergency medical services attended to the fallen fan.
The Apollo Theater then announced that there were no injuries and that the person was “under investigation.” The show has resumed after the incident, and the theater said, “The show must go on.” Apollo tweeted about the incident on Monday.
“Drake, Apollo, and SiriusXM halted the show immediately when learning of a potential fan injury and standard protocols were taken,” the venue stated.
“The fan and other audience members reported that they were OK. No major injuries have been reported.” The Apollo added that it is “investigating the situation further.”
Fans praised Drake for his quick action in stopping the show to ensure the safety of the fallen fan. It’s a reminder that the safety and well-being of concertgoers should always be the highest priority for both performers and venues.
This serves as a reminder that these incidents are serious ones, and that both performers and venues should always put the audience’s security first.
Duet Album
Last night, Drake and 21 Savage took the stage to perform songs from their highly anticipated duets album, Her Loss. Released last November, the album received mixed reviews from critics, but still managed to top the Billboard 200 chart.
One of the most buzzed moments of the concert was the performance of “Circo Loco,” a track from the album that caused controversy for its lyrics.
The song includes a line that implies that Megan Thee Stallion lied about being shot by Tory Lanez, an accusation that drew criticism from Thee Stallion herself. The rapper later went on to win her case against Lanez in court.
Despite the criticism, Drake and 21 Savage’s concert was a hit with fans, who were excited to see the two artists perform together for the first time. The concert was a memorable event, and it’s clear that the two artists have a strong chemistry together.
Overall, Her Loss may have received mixed reviews, but the album’s success and the concert’s popularity show that Drake and 21 Savage are still at the top of their game. Fans can’t wait for what’s next from these two talented artists...Read More
