The View's Kyle Falconer 'punches and kicks' bandmate on stage in shocking new footage

The View frontman Kyle Falconer has been shown raining punches and kicks on his bandmate on stage in shocking new footage.

The lead singer can be seen attacking bass guitarist Kieren Webster during their sold out comeback show at The Deaf Institute in Manchester on Wednesday evening.

In a new video taken by a fan, Webster kicks towards Falconer who pushes him in the back as soon as his solo ends.

Falconer slams his guitar down and lunges for Webster as he appears to grab his neck. He is then filmed punching him in the face and raining down kicks.

Falconer continues to punch Webster in the face as fans can be heard shouting "no' before the clip abruptly ends.

It follows footage that circulated on social media on Thursday morning showing Falconer punch Webster and shout "I'll f****ng kill you" while being held back by guitarist Peter Reilly.

A third clip of the chaotic gig shows Falconer performing an encore of Face for the Radio. When he finishes, he tells the crowd Webster should come back on to finish the set.

Met with chants of his name and jeers, he responds: "The problem with this band is he wants to sing the songs and he canny, right, so I'll see you later."

Disappointed fans who have waited years for the Dundee trio's comeback tour were sent home early, with numerous songs still to be played from the set list.

The band cancelled their show at the Oslo Hackney in London tonight and apologised to fans. A further announcement is expected in the coming days.

A statement released on behalf of The View, from their management team, 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."
