\"George<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\u054b\u0578\u0580\u057b<\/a>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.<\/h1>\n

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

He then jumped off the rigging and fell the equivalent of three storeys into the crowd.<\/p>\n

However, his terrified fans scattered and Watsky landed on a man and a woman, who collapsed on the concrete floor.<\/p>\n

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

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.<\/p>\n

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

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.<\/p>\n

Watsky is set to perform every night this week, including one show in Paris and three in Germany.<\/p>\n
