Sam Fender had to halt his headline set at Leeds Festival due to a medical emergency in the crowd. The Geordie singer noticed one fan needed help and asked the audience to "calm down".
A source at the festival said: "We’re not sure what happened but Sam acted very quickly and made sure that nothing happened until the medics and security got the fan out of the crowd."
Sam checked on his fans multiple times throughout his set, starting by asking the crowd if anyone needed help after performing his song Spice. He also thanked his fans for coming to the show, expressing his gratitude for making his dream of headlining Leeds come true.
The 29-year-old had attended the festival as a punter ten years ago with his guitarist Dean Thompson. Sam admitted he was feeling overwhelmed and said he couldn't "put into words" how mad the night was for him.
"We totally all have the most imposter syndrome, you possibly could imagine," he said. "We played here so many times over the years. We came here as punters. Honesty, I always think Nirvana were one of my favourite bands growing up, and seeing them playing this. And just being here – thank you so much."
Sam Fender's Leeds headline gig was a huge milestone in his career, and he made sure to take care of his fans by making sure everyone stayed safe. He demonstrated his gentleness and kindness by repeatedly asking if anyone needed help, showing his fans how much he values their safety.
