Now, the Manchester Evening News are no fans of violence, and we always want to see fans get their money's worth and artists complete the show. However, there has been a silver lining in both of these shows.
The wall-to-wall coverage of Sam Smith's show was perhaps unsurprising, given how big of a name theirs is. But The View - who most will have remembered for some mid-noughties hits - almost certainly would have not got the airtime without the on-stage scrap.
And, in some ways, that evening has served as a reminder as to why we love going to small shows. You never know what's going to happen.
Sure, The View's actions were far from ideal for fans, but it will have made for a real 'I was there' moment for the few hundred inside. And, more often than not, the surprise you get isn't a series of punches, but a series of brilliant songs. Maruja are a prime example of that - in a few months they've gone from Yes' basement to selling out its bigger Pink Room.

Marc Malkin Senior Film Awards, Events & Lifestyle Editor Jennifer Esposito remembers being asked to audition for “The Sopranos” more than once. She declined each time. “I chose to not go up for it when they would call me in because it was like, ‘I can’t relive this,’” Esposito recalls. “The only thing that used to make me crazy about the show when I did watch it was the character of Meadow because she was very nice. The girls I grew up around wanted to kill me, wanted to kill me every day. So it was PTSD.” Esposito grew up among organized crime on Staten Island. “Staten Island is the same Staten Island from when I left when I was 18 years old,” says the 50-year-old actor, whose credits span from television’s “Spin City” and “Blue Bloods” to the Oscar-winning “Crash.” “It’s still the same place.

Sam Smith is being slammed after abruptly exiting a concert stage and leaving fans "in the dark" for 20 minutes without any kind of announcement. Only adding to the anger was that fans felt Sam was particularly insensitive about the blackout, given that that particular show took place at the Manchester Arena, which was the site of a bombing during an Ariana Grande concert six years earlier.
