The catastrophic storm took place as fans eagerly waited for the star to come on stage at the Red Rocks Amphitheatre.

The concert had already been delayed to just after 8pm as fans were urged to find cover before another delay was issued just before 9.15pm.
The venue tweeted at 10.25pm: “Tonight’s show has officially been postponed.
“Please be safe exiting the amphitheatre – we’ll have more information for ticket holders soon.”
Some fans said the show should have been cancelled earlier.
“Should’ve cancelled at the first delay. Absolutely ridiculous. Louis must be livid,” said one attendee.

Another person said: “Scariest hail storm I’ve ever been caught in. This show should have been cancelled an hour ago.”
Tomlinson’s team also announced the show was postponed on Twitter and said ticket holders “will be updated in due course”.
The star later wrote: “Devastated about the show tonight, hope everyone’s ok, I’ll be back! Even though we didn’t play the show I felt all of your passion! Sending you all love!”
