The Aussie pop duo had been performing in Germany at the MS Dockville festival when one member fell unwell on-stage.
Consisting of Royel Maddell and Otis Pavlovic, footage that was circulated on TikTok appeared to show Royel collapsing to the ground mid-set.
Members of the on-stage live band rushed to help as Royel stumbled backwards with his guitar still on him.
He appeared to fall on his back as gasps could be heard ringing out across the shocked crowd.
The band are yet to address what happened to Royel but concert-goers appeared to suggest that his terrifying fall came just 15 minutes into the band’s performance.
Now, the band have broken their silence to confirm they are pulling the plug on their impending gigs following the scary incident.
Writing on their Instagram account, they confirmed that Royel was suffering from a virus as they said: “We are really sorry to say that we need to cancel our set at Lowlands + Pukkelpop festival as Roy has been unwell with a virus since last night’s show in Hamburg.
“We were really looking forward to playing for you and hope we can see you at one of our other shows soon.
“Thank you for all your support always [pink heart emoji] Roy + Otis.”
The group have been working together for the past six years but have only found mainstream success in recent years.
