Stadium officials informed ABC News that no injuries occurred and confirmed stricter security protocols would be enforced at the remaining two shows.
Liam Gallagher's Response
Liam Gallagher openly condemned the fan responsible for the dangerous act during his typically blunt and expletive-filled response, reflecting the seriousness of the situation.
