Fans who tweeted that they witnessed the accident said the show ended afterward.

There was no immediate confirmation from the band regarding Clifford's condition, but he appeared in good enough spirits to post this message and photo from his Twitter account after he got patched up:

"What the f***** up. Sorry I couldn't finish the encore, but at least I look like two face," Clifford wrote. "Thanks for worrying every1 x."
