The Script stop Dublin concert mid-song and call in security as Danny hits out at crowd members

The Script were forced to stop their concert mid-song and call in security after an altercation in the crowd on Thursday night.

Danny O'Donoghue and his bandmates were playing their third 3Arena show in consecutive days with free tickets for frontline workers from the HSE.

The singer praised the crowd and their energy throughout but midway through the set was left with no choice but to call in security and call a halt to the performance.

An unimpressed Danny said: "We're going to have to stop now and get security in, that's not what tonight's about."

After no more than three or four minutes the Dublin star was happy to get the concert back underway as two young men were escorted by security out of the 3Arena.

Fans commended the singer and it didn't take away from the gig which had the crowd dancing throughout.

Their tour honours everything that the trio - Danny, Glen Power and Mark Sheehan - have achieved together since 2007.

Their latest album: “The ‘Tales From The Script’ album is a springboard to our next chapter, but it’s also our story so far,” according to Danny and they’re “so excited to be taking it on the road. I know I’m gonna lose it on stage, night after night.”

They are celebrating a journey that has included six number one Irish albums, five UK number one albums, six billion streams, and over two million ticket sales with a Greatest Hits Tour.

They’ve had iconic hits like “Hall of Fame” (featuring Will.i.am) and the Top 10 hit “The Man Who Can’t Be Moved”, “For The First Time” and “Superheroes”.

Their landmark music also includes “Breakeven”, their debut single “We Cry” and “Rain”.

And for fans that stayed on after closing song "Hall of Fame", they even got a sneak peek at a song yet to be released from the band's new album.
