A spokesman for Alexandra Palace said on Twitter yesterday: 'A medical incident occurred at last night's Bring Me The Horizon concert. Our thoughts and condolences are with the individual's family and we would like to express our deepest sympathy to them. We hope you can appreciate we cannot provide any further comment at this time.'

The venue also responded to rumours that suggested there were only 10 security guards working during the concert.

'We would like to clarify that this was a tragic medical incident and unrelated to the extensive security measures in place. However, we feel we must address inaccurate information. There were over 150 security personnel on site for the concert,' a spokesman for Alexandra Palace said this morning.

A spokesman for the London Ambulance Service said the fan died at the scene.

'We sent an ambulance crew, a paramedic in a fast response car, an advanced paramedic and our hazardous area response team to the scene. Our first medic arrived in less than three minutes.

'Sadly the patient died at the scene.'

Bring Me The Horizon kicked off their European tour on November 5, and brought the show to Leeds last week.
