Drake pauses NYC concert after reveler tumbles off 2nd-floor BALCONY trends now
Drake was forced to pause his New York City concert at the Apollo theater after a man fell from the second-floor balcony into the orchestra pit - but miraculously no one was injured.
The man, whose identity was not revealed, could be seen falling from the mezzanine balcony into the crowd below about 90-minutes into the concert Sunday night at the legendary theater located in Harlem.

Drake sang some of his songs from his first album and at one point spoke to his fans about how he used to feel performing and where he is today.
'I used to come up here and my heart used to beat out of my chest. I used to be side of stage hoping some bad sh*t would happen, like a f*****g fire alarm would go off,' he said, Insider reported.
