The injured fan posted photos of his head wound and detailed the aftermath. He required a CT scan, seven stitches, and a tetanus shot but confirmed he had no skull fractures. The same tube reportedly ricocheted and struck another audience member, a Russian woman, whom he ironically referred to as a victim of "karma."
Following the incident, two men claiming to represent the concert organizers approached him. They offered to cover medical expenses and compensate him for his ticket, hotel, and flight. However, the fan sought legal advice and consulted the Russian embassy before making any decisions. He also refused their request to remove his Reddit post, clarifying that while he didn’t wish to harm Dua Lipa’s reputation, he expected fair compensation for what he described as a “near-death experience.”
Recounting the event, he said the impact was sudden, leaving him bleeding heavily. His wife quickly called for help, and security escorted him and the other injured fan to the hospital. Despite receiving medical attention, he expressed dissatisfaction with how the situation was handled, emphasizing the need for better safety measures.
The tour will proceed with performances in Seoul on December 4 and 5, concluding its Asian leg before heading to Europe, Australia, and the USA in 2025. While Dua Lipa’s concerts continue to attract global audiences, this incident underscores the importance of prioritizing safety in large-scale events. Fans hope stricter precautions will be implemented as the tour progresses.
