An elderly British rapper left fans stunned after passing out mid-performance while hanging above the stage in a harness.
Pete Bowditch, one half of rap duo Pete & Bas, suffered the terrifying blackout in front of a live crowd, turning his performance into a real-life mic drop moment.
Footage shows the star, who is in his 70s, suspended awkwardly above the stage as three dancers carried on below.

But halfway through the routine, his head suddenly slumped forward and his arms dropped as he lost consciousness.
Shockingly, the dancers appeared unaware and continued performing as the drama unfolded above them.
It is believed the harness may have restricted his circulation, causing him to black out, as reported by Need To Know.
The duo later reassured fans that Pete is now recovering.
In a social media statement posted on Tuesday, they said: “We would like to apologise for last night’s show, the good news is Pete is now in a stable condition.
“We’ll be issuing refunds to all ticket holders.
“All current European tour dates will still be going ahead.”
The alarming incident is believed to have taken place in Chicago, Illinois, on Monday, 16 March.
Pete & Bas have since been contacted for further comment.
The London-based duo shot to fame with tracks including The Old Estate, Dents in a Peugeot and their breakout hit Shut Ya Mouth.
They first formed in 2017 after Pete discovered his love for hip hop when his granddaughter played rap music in his car.
He shared the idea with his mate Bas and the pair decided to release Shut Ya Mouth on YouTube for fun.
The track quickly went viral, launching their unlikely music career.
Since then, they have performed across major European cities, built up more than a million Instagram followers and even collaborated with big names including M24 and T-Pain.
