Several concert goers were left injured in a crush at a gig at the O2 Academy in Brixton while afro-pop singer Asake took to the stage to perform. Police were called to the London venue and four people have been described by the Metropolitan Police as having been critically injured. The concert was abandoned after it was estimated that over 1,000 people had turned up and tried to get in without tickets. The singer took to Twitter after the incident and said his heart was with those who were injured and were caused any form of discomfort, before adding he was praying they get well soon. An investigation into what happened has begun.
