Bring Me The Horizon have confirmed that a fan tragically passed away at their London show on 30 November.

Taking to social media to express their sorrow over the news, they stated: "Words cannot express how horrified we are feeling this evening after hearing about the death of a young man at our show last night.

"Our hearts and deepest condolences go out to his family and loved ones at this terrible time. We will comment further in due course."

The event unfolded on Friday night at the city's Alexandra Palace, which posted on Twitter the following day: "A medical incident occurred at last night's Bring Me The Horizon concert. Our thoughts and condolences are with the individual's family and we would like to express our deepest sympathy to them.

"We hope you can appreciate we cannot provide any further comment at this time."

Although it's not yet known how the fan died, the Independent reports that a number of eyewitnesses claim they saw a man named 'Ali' being carried out of the crowd at the 10,000-capacity venue by security.

Adding to these accounts, in tweets that have since been deleted, Griffin Dickinson - frontman of SHVPES and son of Iron Maiden's Bruce Dickinson - wrote: "Last night at a BMTH show I saw a kid die. He was carried out by 3 dudes & paramedics tried to resuscitate him to no avail. Please please please look out for people around you."

The London Ambulance Service were called in at nearly 10pm that night, sending an ambulance crew and paramedics to the venue, but sadly it was too late.

A spokesperson for the LAS said: "We were called at 9.48pm on Friday (November 30) to reports of a person unwell at Alexandra Palace in north London.

"We sent an ambulance crew, a paramedic in a fast response car, an advanced paramedic and our hazardous area response team to the scene. Our first medic arrived in less than three minutes. Sadly the patient died at the scene."

A number of fans have flocked to Twitter to warn others about the dangers of moshing, urging crowd members to look out for each other.

One fan wrote: "I know pits are fun but it breaks my heart that people are risking their lives by trying to have fun.

"I was at the gig in Birmingham and people were coming out with bloody noses and visibly broken bones. This is not what music is about."

Another said: "Thank you for addressing this. we as a community need to work together to improve safety at concerts, so people don't get seriously hurt."
