Fan footage from the gig posted on Twitter show Michael leaving the stage with smoke coming from his hair, after walking into a pyrotechnics display that shot up fire.
Other footage showed band member Ashton Irwin assuring fans that Michael is OK after his fire injury.

“Michael has hurt himself so we won’t be continuing the show,” he told a screaming audience.
“Just want to say thank you so much for coming. He is OK. You guys have been the best crowd we asked for tonight.”
Fans have been showing their support on Twitter.
