According to The Sun, a spokesperson of DF Concerts confirmed that the incident occurred and that the singer was not harmed.

“During the Bruno Mars show, there was an incident involving one of the stage lights meaning the show was stopped temporarily. Thanks to the quick thinking of our stage team who assessed the situation, this incident was quickly responded to, allowing the show to continue safely,” he told the publication.

This is not the first time a concert has been stopped during a Bruno Mars performance. According to Digital Spy tragedy struck after Bruno left the stage at the PinkPop Festival in the Netherlands in June.

One person was left dead and three were injured when a vehicle drove into people close to a camping site near the festival.

BBC news reported that a 34-year-old man later handed himself over to Dutch police, where he was held on suspicion of manslaughter and attempted manslaughter.
