Washington: It wasn’t the electrifying performance of Canadian singer Shawn Mendes that shook the audience at Staples Center. The viewers were stunned as they got to know that a 7.1 magnitude earthquake had hit in Ridgecrest, California.
According to Billboard, before the concert, when the lights were set to dim and the audience was buzzing in anticipation, the whole building began to sway back and forth menacingly, including the screen backdrop and huge rose dangling from the ceiling. Fortunately, no harm was caused and everyone was safe.
Later, seeing the excitement of the audience, it was decided that the show must go on.
The two middle-school-aged girls sitting nearby the stage were more concerned for the singer. “What if he died? He’s too beautiful to die!” Soon the audience was back in action and had forgotten everything when they saw the stage crew managing the settings of the stage again. The crazy fans of the singer were filled with excitement again when they spotted a dramatic entry of Mendes on ‘Another One Bites the Dust’ song.
As the first few chords of ‘Lost in Japan’ rang out, the audience were seen shouting and screaming for their favourite singer.
