Frontman of SHVPES, Griffin Dickinson (son to Iron Maiden’s Bruce Dickinson) tweeted that a fan had died and has since removed them from the internet, below is what he had to say:
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. Don’t leave it up for someone else. If someone looks unwell, CHECK on them… (1/2 tweets)
In any situation, on a tube, at a gig, whatever. I feel like British ‘awkwardness’ gets in the way of helping people. Don’t be afraid to call an ambulance. Don’t act like it ain’t your business. ACT on it. Rest in peace to that dude. Thoughts are with his family rn. (2/2 tweets)

what happened at alexandra palace last night is heartbreaking. if the correct security measures had been in place to keep people safe this could’ve been prevented. i’m so angered that the venue was even allowed to operate in that state. rest in peace to those who lost their lives

im not going to say exactly what happened on here bc it isn’t my place to but i will say this:
Alexandra palace needs to be shut down until ALL of their security go through intensive training. it isn’t fucking okay to have irresponsible, untrained security at big venues.— elle (@forgetregrett) December 1, 2018
Alexandra Palace needs to be shut down to undergo major training and alternative safety procedures. it’s never been the best venue but last night was a fucking all time low. it’s not my place to say anything that happened but concerts are meant to be safe and fun not dangerous.

I’d like to take a moment to discuss the fact that someone died during Bring Me The Horizon last night at Alexandra Palace. I sat in the medical room with my friend and looked outside to see a literal dead body being wheeled in to ambulance, something which 1. has traumatised me

Apparently two fans died at a bring me the horizon concert. When in a crowd look out for each other, take care of each other!!! So sad 🙁

I’d appreciate if everyone had some respect for the loss of a young mans life. Paramedics did all they could and we are grateful for their efforts.
Security? Can’t say the same. #bmth #bringmethehorizon pic.twitter.com/dQzvRoc9nc— willoe? (@theactualfxck) December 1, 2018
