Alternative metal band Bring Me The Horizon has said it is "horrified" after learning that a fan died at its Alexandra Palace gig.

Emergency services were called to reports of someone feeling unwell at the north London music venue on Friday shortly before 10pm but were unable to save the man.

"Words cannot express how horrified we are feeling this evening after hearing about the death of a young man at our show last night," the musicians tweeted.

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

Following the above statement, we would like to clarify that this was a tragic medical incident and unrelated to the extensive security measures in place. However, we feel we must address inaccurate information. There were over 150 security personnel on site for the concert.
