Mick Hucknall Halts Wembley Show to Rebuke Shouting Fan During Simply Red’s 40th Anniversary Tour

Fan-shot video shows the singer telling a front-row attendee to put a sock in it before apologizing to the crowd, with no official follow-up reported.

Overview

  • The incident occurred at OVO Arena Wembley on Saturday during the band’s 40th anniversary tour and was reported on October 14 via tabloid outlets.
  • Footage captures Hucknall pointing to an audience member and saying “Shut it” and “I’m sick of hearing it,” then addressing the crowd with an apology.
  • He told attendees he could not concentrate because someone was yelling loudly and said they had come to hear him sing, not the disruptive fan.
  • The fan who filmed the clip, identified as Fay Marinho, said the front-row spectator was shouting lyrics to the next song, which distracted the singer.
