JLS - X Factor 2008

The JLS boys have said that they are devastated about the incident which occurred at their concert in Birmingham yesterday.

The former X Factor runners up were performing at a Christmas light ceremony in the town when a crowd surge resulted in 60 fans being injured and 4 being hospitalised.

“We are so, so sad to see people got injured… It was meant to be a great event,” said band member Marvin Humes.

“We’re just gutted that everyone’s day was spoilt,” he added.

“It should have been a great gig with other artists like Alexandra Burke and Calvin Harris.

“We just hope that everyone who was injured has a speedy recovery.”
