The Darkness concert evacuated after crowd warned of 'emergency in the building'

Concert goers at a gig for The Darkness and Black Stone Cherry were evacuated due to an "emergency in the building" on Sunday evening.

The event at the M&S Bank Arena in Liverpool saw fans told to "leave by the nearest exit" after just one song.

The announcement left thousands quickly heading for the exits at the arena after the safety precaution.

The message is said to have relayed to the audience: "There is an emergency in the building, please leave by the nearest exit" and the microphones used by the bands were cut off.

The band put their instruments down before The Darkness' lead singer Justin Hawkins asked people to leave the arena.

A concert-goer told the Liverpool Echo there was no panic, but people seemed "a bit bewildered" at what had happened, with some thinking it was just a part of the show.
