According to reports, a large number of people without tickets tried to storm Asake’s concert at the O2 Brixton Academy which left four fans in critical condition.

Doors to the venue were locked, shutting out many valid ticket holders as well as those trying to gain unauthorized entry and it resulted in the show being canceled.

According to the Mayor of London, eight people have been hospitalized while four are in critical condition following the incident.

He said “My thoughts are with all those affected by the awful incident at Brixton Academy.

“An urgent investigation is underway and I remain in close contact with the Met Commissioner since last night.
