Man falls from balcony at Drake concert

An unidentified male concert reveller fell from the mezzanine balcony into the orchestra pit at the Apollo Theatre during Drake’s concert in New York.
Drake was playing two SiriusXM concerts when midway through the show, the man fell. The rapper paused the event and addressed the incident telling the crowd, “Just gotta make sure somebody’s OK,” before a 15-minute break.
In a statement shared with Pitchfork, a representative for the Apollo Theater explained:
“Unfortunately, last evening an incident occurred with an audience member who landed in the orchestra from the lower mezzanine. Drake, Apollo, and SiriusXM halted the show immediately when learning of a potential fan injury and standard protocols were taken. They were seen immediately by EMS on site. The fan and other audience members reported that they were OK. No major injuries have been reported. The Apollo is investigating the situation further.”
Drake ran through over 40 songs at his first Apollo concert and also brought out 21 Savage and members of Harlem’s Diplomats. The concerts were originally scheduled to take place in November but were postponed due to the memorial service for Migos’ Takeoff.
