Second Woman Who Got Injured At Singer, Asake London Concert Dies

A woman identified as Gabrielle Hutchinson, has died after being injured in a crush at Asake’s concert at Brixton Academy, which makes her the second woman that lost her life to the sad incident.

The 23-year-old reportedly died in the hospital earlier today, Monday, December 19, 2022.

On the day the Incident happened, Hutchinson was working as one of the contracted security providers for the event.

Rebecca Ikumelo, 33, was the first woman who died after sustaining injuries at the concert. She died on Saturday morning, Dec. 17.

A third woman aged 21 remains in hospital fighting for her life.

All three women were in the foyer of the building in south London when they were critically injured in the crush, the Metropolitan Police said.

Eight people were taken to hospital with injuries following the incident on Thursday night, Dec. 15.

Police said they were called to reports of a “large number of people attempting to force entry to the venue”, where Afrobeat artist Asake was performing.

The Nigerian musician was forced to abandon the gig after performing three songs and released a statement saying his “heart is with those who were injured”.

Metropolitan Police Chief Superintendent Colin Wingrove said: “It is devastating news that a second person has lost their life following the events on Thursday.

“I wish to express my heartfelt condolences to Gabrielle’s family at this unimaginably difficult time.”
