A man fell 20 feet from a balcony at a Charlatans gig in Wolverhampton on Tuesday night but reports suggest that, despite the fact the gig goer fell on his head, he has actually avoided serious injury. Many fellow fans witnessed the incident, though it wasn't seen from the stage, where the band continued with their set without interruption.
According to the NME, the man, from Walsall, toppled over the safety barrier at around 10.15pm, and was immediately taken to a local hospital, however he did not sustain any permanent damage. The Charlatans issued a statement regarding the incident yesterday, saying: "The band are really upset that an accident like this would happen at one of their gigs and they wish him all the best in his recovery."
It was the second medical related incident to happen at a gig this week. A pregnant woman went into early labour during the finale of Take That's comeback gig at the Newcastle Arena on Sunday, and sadly lost the baby. A spokeswoman for the Royal Victoria Infirmary, where the woman was taken, confirmed that the baby had died and that the mother remained "poorly".
A spokesman for Take That told reporters: "The band have been informed and they are extremely sorry. They will be passing on their condolences to the lady concerned."
