American rock band Paramore made a statement to call out the abuse that occurred at their most recent show in Salt Lake City, Utah.

"After last night's show in SLC, we were made aware of an incident that happened in the crowd while we were on stage. A man physically and verbally assaulted multiple women, including an engaged couple, at our show," Paramore said.

The band's security team and the venue staff were able to remove him.

"We did not realize this was happening, as the incident took place out of view from stage. Had we seen any of this happening, we would have stopped the show until the situation was under control," the band wrote.

After that, Paramore expressed their regret to the upset and shocked fans.

"To the fans who were hurt by or who witnessed what happened last night, we are so sorry. We hope that you know we will always do anything we can to protect you and make you feel celebrated."

In addition, Paramore stated that they do not "condone violence, homophobia, or bigotry of any kind. It is extremely unwelcome in our community and has no place at our shows."

They also emphasized that their shows "are meant to be a safe place for people. If you can't respect that, do not come."
