NEW YORK (1010 WINS) — Drake was forced to pause his second concert at the historic Apollo Theater in Harlem Sunday night after a fan toppled over the mezzanine and landed in the orchestra.
Just 90 minutes after taking the stage, the Grammy winner brought rapper 21 Savage onstage to perform songs from their album "Her Loss," but before they could begin, the man fell, Insider reported.
A crew member raced up and chatted with the rappers as they exited the stage. Drake reportedly told the audience, "Just have to make sure somebody's OK."
The lights were then turned on, and security ran through the crowd to the spot where the man landed.
The fall dislodged a light fixture, which was subsequently removed, according to the report. A crew member secured cords hanging over the side of the balcony.
The concert was halted for about 15 minutes and an announcer told the crowd that no one was injurd before the performance resumed.
The Apollo tweeted about the incident Monday afternoon and said that the incident was under investigation.
"Unfortunately, last evening an incident occurred with an audience member who landed in the orchestra from the lower mezzanine," the tweet read, adding that the show was immediately [stopped] when learning of a potential fan injury and standard protocols were taken."
"They were seen immediately by EMS on site," the statement added. "The fan and other audience members reported that they were OK. No major injuries have been reported. The Apollo is investigating the situation further."
