Grimes apologizes to Dublin venue after concert electrocution scare

Update: Grimes has responded to reports that she may have been electrocuted by her earphones during her gig in Dublin last night, apologizing to the venue for implying it may have been responsible for the technical issues she experienced.

"Hey! just wanna apologize to the Olympia theatre that I originally thought they were responsible for the electrical issues at last nights show," Grimes wrote on her Instagram page. "We've triple checked everything and haven't yet discovered what the issue was."

Grimes goes on to say she was experiencing "gunshots through the vocal channel into my monitors," but does not want any of the stage crew at the Dublin show to be held responsible.

"I don't want them to take the blame for something that was most likely on our end," she wrote.

Grimes wrote the message after initially posting on her social media account that she was experiencing technical difficulties throughout her show. Consequently, Grimes was forced to end her set prematurely due to the problems she was experiencing.

Footage of the concert shot by a fan at the Olympia Theatre venue shows a moment where Grimes is clearly dealing with a sharp discomfort from her earphones. After the show, the singer posted a Tweet, which has since been deleted:

"Dublin! 1 mil apologies that my pedal failed and I was electrocuted, but there r tears in my eyes that y'all were so so wonderful."

Grimes did seem to have a sense of humour about the whole affair, posting an image to her Instagram page featuring a character from The Simpsons touching wires while ignoring the "Danger extremely high voltage" sign above. It's an image her fans had been sending her after the show.

"Appreciating every1 who tweeted this at me today haha," Grimes wrote on the account. "Thank u thank u Dublin for being sweet and kind."
