Nigerian artist Asake was performing at the O2 Academy in Brixton, south London, when ticketless fans tried to get into the venue. The resulting crush left two people dead.

"It started at 8pm, so I understand by 9pm a large crowd of about 1,000 people had formed outside the entrance to the premises, to all intents giving the appearance of entering the building," he said.

"Staff at the venue closed the entrance doors and called the police for support. And we have a timing for that call, it's 9.04pm. The police arrived at 9.16pm."When they arrived, they found large-scale disorder, the crowd pushing against the doors, trying to force them open, which they eventually did."A number of them fell to the floor.

Stephen Walsh KC, representing AMG, said his client agreed to the suspension terms as set out by the police and offered sympathies on behalf of the venue to those impacted by the tragedy.
