The View were forced to abandon a gig after the lead singer apparently threw a punch at the band’s bass guitarist during an onstage bust-up.
The incident occurred during the Dundee band’s gig at The Deaf Institute in Manchester on Wednesday night.
Footage shared online by fans of the Scottish indie rock band shows singer Kyle Falconer, 35, throw his guitar down after bassist Kieren Webster, 37, seemingly kicks his microphone stand.
Falconer then lands several punches and a kick.
The singer, later left standing on his own onstage, apologised to the audience before ending the set.
He said: “The problem with this band is he wants to sing the songs and he can’t, right, so [see you].”
Greater Manchester Police said officers were not called to the incident.
The band were due to perform at the Oslo in Hackney, London, on Thursday night, but the gig was postponed.
In a statement posted online, a spokesperson said: “Unfortunately we are having to postpone tonight’s London show. Our promoter is working to resolve the situation.
“Please keep hold of your tickets for now and we will make a further announcement in a few days. Massive apologies to all our fans.”
