Ellie Goulding fans beat the living daylights out of each other at Eden Project gig

Ellie Goulding was forced to halt her Eden Project gig in Cornwall this week (8 July 2014), when a group of girls started brawling in the front row of the show.

The pop superstar was performing her hit single 'Anything Can Happen' when a group of female fans started battering each other, and Goulding addressed the violence directly from the stage.

"Girls, what's up? That song is meant to be happiness, not fights," said Goulding to the girls, reports Digital Spy. "No drink throwing. It's not nice. It's really annoying and it's bloody sticky."

When one of her Westcountry fans attempted to explain the reason for the fight, Goulding was having none of it - putting the girls in her place with a swift putdown, snapping: "We've all got stories, doesn't mean you have to tell them."

'Burn etc'

When her audience began to boo the brawlers, Goulding demanded the audience refrain, before describing the fight as quite a masculine punch-up, saying: "It's quite a laddish crowd tonight, fights breaking out, drinks spilling."
