Dua Lipa fans kicked out of her concert for 'waving gay flags'

Dua Lipa fans kicked out of her concert for 'waving gay flags'

Dua Lipa was left in tears after fans were reportedly removed from her concert in Shanghai, China.

Dua took to Instagram after the event, saying she is "horrified by what happened" during her show on Wednesday night.

Fans of hers were completely outraged on social media, sharing videos of security workers forcibly removing people from her show, for waving pro-gay right flags.

Belief WILD on Twitter

One girl said she saw an incident between several security guards, the police and a  couple. The man was apparently held in a headlock before he was removed, she said.

She described the police as "heavy-handed" and "aggressive".

Neo on Twitter

Homosexuality is not illegal in China, although it is heavy with anti-LGBT attitude.

Dua actually noticed the commotion while she was on stage, and got noticeably upset. Dua told the crowd: "I want us all to dance, I want us all to sing, I want us all to just have a really good time.

"I would love in these last few songs for us to really, really, really enjoy ourselves. How about that?"

Liability on Twitter

Later she posted a message on Instagram: 

"I am proud and grateful that you felt safe enough to show your pride at my show," Dua Lipa wrote.

"What you did takes a lot of bravery. I always want my music to bring strength, hope and unity. I was horrified by what happened and I send love to all my fans involved.

"I would love to come back for my fans when the time is right and hopefully see a room full of rainbows."

Last night I did it for my fans. A promised show. I stood by them, sang with them and danced with them. I will stand by you all for your love and beliefs and I am proud and grateful that you felt safe enough to show your pride at my show. What you did takes a lot of bravery. I always want my music to bring strength, hope and unity. I was horrified by what happened and I send love to all my fans involved. I would love to come back for my fans when the time is right and hopefully see a room full of rainbows. I love you Shanghai xx
