P!nk gig after not sitting in his seat.The moment occurred at the singer’s recent show at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London over the past weekend, as she took to the stage as part of her extensive ‘Summer Carnival World Tour’.Ahead of the performance, concertgoer Vanessa Vasey and her son Jesse went to the stadium to watch the set, but the seven-year-old who has Down’s Syndrome and sensory disorders found it hard to sit still.According to reports from Metro, Vasey had prepared for this and had brought her friend Kirsty to stand near the seating area while her son danced. That being said, just before P!nk went on stage, a group of security guards confronted them and asked them to go back to their seats.Vasey said that she explained the situation, and was told that either they had to take their seats or leave the gig.

They turned down the offer for the latter, however, as they thought it would leave Jesse watching the show on a screen without hearing any of it from the stage.“We couldn’t wait as it was going to be such a special moment for us to experience together.
On the day, I didn’t take his disability buggy as the ticket said there was no storage,” Vasey told The Daily Mail. “But when it came to sitting in our seats, Jesse didn’t want to.
And in the lounge area, the blinds had been pulled down. So we stood up by our seats and Jesse was dancing.“We weren’t causing any problems – Jesse
