A rapper who jumped from a lighting rig and injured two people has apologised for his "stupid and wildly irresponsible" stunt.
George Watsky climbed a rope ladder before leaping into the crowd at Alexandra Palace in north London during a performance at the Vans Warped Tour.
The 30ft fall broke a girl's arm and left another fan in hospital, although Watsky himself escaped with only "nicks, bruises and the shame of endangering the crowd".
In a lengthy apology posted to his Facebook page, the musician said: "The jump was not awesome, it was not badass and it was not ballsy.
The American rapper climbed a rope ladder to reach the lighting rig "It turned what should have been a great day for the people who got hurt into a nightmare.

The stunt was described as "pretty idiotic", "dumb" and "definitely stupid" by some users, although many of his 200,000 fans on Facebook expressed their support for the star following his apology.

He said he would not be cancelling any of his forthcoming tour dates but insisted he "will not be jumping off anything".
"I am deeply sorry and I promise to learn from this mistake," he added.
Watsky said he spent six hours waiting at the hospital while the injured man was seen by doctors and planned to return to the ward to apologise to him.
