Lead singer of The Lathums has hit out at fans after finding out that there was 'very inappropriate behaviour' in the crowd at their gig in Glasgow gig on Friday night.
The Manchester-based band were playing at Glasgow's O2 Academy last night and after the gig, lead singer Alex Moore received a message from a female fan saying that she had been treated 'very inappropriately' whilst watching the gig.
Alex took to the band's Twitter page to blast this behaviour and said it must stop.
Speaking to the camera, he said: "Hello all. It's Alex here, it's not often that I'm serious but I will be when it's warranted, I got a message from a fan after the Glasgow show that somebody had been treated very, very inappropriately and I'm going to the be the first one to say that this does not happen at a Lathums show, it will not happen and it cannot continue to happen - I was disgusted by it.
"If you ever see anything you need to speak up about it if your mate is doing anything inappropriate you need to speak about it. On another level, if you feel uncomfortable or if you feel unsafe at our shows you look at me, you get me and I will acknowledge it. I'll get you sorted immediately.
He added: "All you have to do is get my attention and I will get it sorted. I don't want anybody feeling uncomfortable or separated or even traumatised at our shows.
"I know 99% of people there are lovely, genuine people that will look after other people and they just want to sing and dance. We've had a massive influx of female followers - which I'm very proud of - and I want them to feel safe. I want them to be able to sing and dance and have fun and not have to worry about looking over their shoulder so this is from me to everybody else: if you see it, speak about it.
"If I see it, I know I'll do something about it. We need to speak about it and make sure stuff like this doesn't happen ever again, especially not at a Lathums show. Thank you and goodbye and lots of love from me. "
And many fans praised Alex for speaking out about it.
One wrote: "Really appreciate statements like this, one of the big things I was scared of after transitioning was attending gigs and the harassment that unfortunately happens all too often at gigs, so good to see a band from my hometown speaking out against it."
Another added: "Thank you so much for speaking up!! means a lot!!"
While one penned: "Was a fantastic night; pity some had to lower themselves to inappropriate behave towards others and ruin their enjoyment. Well said for speaking out about it straight away."
