Concert in Munich - Confrontation with Adele fan: security guards in custody

After a physical altercation with a visitor at an Adele concert in Munich, two security personnel are in custody. They are being investigated for suspected dangerous bodily harm, Munich police confirmed upon request.

The cause of the altercation between a 26-year-old man from Northern Ireland and the security personnel on Friday evening, just before the concert began, remains unclear. The concert-goer was injured and had to be taken to a hospital. The background of the incident and the exact sequence of events are currently under investigation, according to the police.

For the ten concerts in Munich, the 36-year-old singer Adele ("Rolling in the Deep", "Hello", "Easy on Me") has a pop-up stadium built specifically to meet her needs. This is her first performance on the European mainland since 2016.

Despite the injury to his body, the concert-goer's condition is now being closely monitored at the hospital. The investigation into the incident is focused on potential charges of injury to body due to the altercation.
