A BÉYONCE concert in Glasgow reportedly broke into chaos last night after fans in the crowd began "scrapping", forcing stewards to form a "human barrier".
A Glasgow Beyoncé concert is believed to have ended in chaos last night
During the Formation World Tour show, the Crazy In Love hitmaker, 34, paid tribute to Philando Castile and Alton Sterling with a minute's silence after they were shot dead by police officers in the US this week.
Halting her concert, Beyoncé displayed the names of dozens of victims who have been killed by law enforcement, and followed with an Acapella version of Freedom, a recent release that refers to the Black Lives Matter movement.

However, members of the security team in high-vis jackets were said to have formed a wall at the stadium after concert-goers are believed to have turned violent, the Daily Record stated.
Attendees took to Twitter to share photographs of the distressing scenes, with many expressing their disappointment that it had happened in Scotland.
One woman wrote: "It had to be Glasgow fans fighting didn't it!! You didn't read about this at any other of her gigs!!"
