White then came back onstage and finished the track.

Member of the audience KevRocket wrote to the Back To Rockville blog: "I knew something was wrong when Jack came to the edge of the stage.

"I was surprised when he ended up picking this girl up and out of harm's way. I have seen a lot of concerts, and that was a first."
