Although the fan is now expected to make a full recovery, she suffered injuries to one leg and four dorsal vertebrae. However, one fan did not have time to move out of the way and was injured when Haddon landed near her, causing a "near riot" in the crowd. "As people were completely surprised by this, they jumped away instead of catching him," a witness told. Ou Est Le Swimming Pool, a London-based synth-pop group, were performing at the Pukkelpop festival in Belgium when Haddon suddenly launched himself from the stage. According to authorities, Haddon's fears over the incident – which might have seen the fan injured for life – may have spurred Haddon's decision to kill himself. The tragic death of Charles Haddon, frontman for Ou Est Le Swimming Pool, occurred hours after the singer injured a fan during a stage dive. ![]()
