This is the moment a stage dive went disastrously wrong when a rapper leapt 35ft from a gantry into the crowd – putting himself and two fans in hospital.

American rap artist George Watsky, 27, scaled the lighting rig during his last song before asking spectators: ‘Have you got my back?’.

He then jumped off the rigging and fell the equivalent of three storeys into the crowd.

However, his terrified fans scattered and Watsky landed on a man and a woman, who collapsed on the concrete floor.

The female festival-goer suffered a broken arm and the male victim was left with back injuries while Watsky was covered in bruising.

All three had to be stretchered out and taken to hospital and organisers were forced to temporarily stop the Vans Warped punk rock tour at AlexandraPalace in London.

Watsky has since apologised on Facebook for his ‘shameful’ actions and has visited the female fan in hospital to personally say sorry.

Last month, he posted a series of pictures on his Facebook showing him jump off a first floor balcony into a crowd while wearing a green Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle costume.

Watsky is set to perform every night this week, including one show in Paris and three in Germany.
