Grimes was reportedly electrocuted last night by her earphones during her gig in Dublin.
According to Stereogum, the Montreal electronic artist was experiencing technical difficulties throughout her show, and was electrocuted multiple times by her audio equipment. 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 may have been electrocuted, with the singer clearly experiencing 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."
