Dua Lipa can then be seen tearing up after the altercation, telling her fans that she wants to create a “safe environment” for them, and that with “only a few more songs. [I] would love in these last few songs for us to really, really, really enjoy ourselves. How about that?”

Lipa later issued a statement saying she was “proud” of her fans:

“I will stand by you all for your love and beliefs and I am proud and grateful that you felt safe enough to show your pride at my show. What you did takes a lot of bravery. I always want my music to bring strength, hope and unity. I was horrified by what happened and I send love to all my fans involved.”
