'I saw one of the men with what looked like a knife, or could be a piece of roof tile, making stabbing motions towards the police.
'The man walking around on the mobile phone said 'I want to die' and seemed completely out of it.
'He was on the phone the entire time. I'm not sure to who.
'The two of them somehow found some chairs from somewhere and were collecting glass and other roof tiles and ripped up a Velux window.
'There are a lot of armed police there at the moment and a large area has been cordoned off, we were told someone might have a gun.'

One of the men is shown repeatedly hitting a part of the roof, with what looks like a roof tile and the other then appears to be trying to set something on fire with his lighter.

Cordons and road closures were in place.
A spokesman for the Met Police said: 'At 17:11hrs on 26 March police observed two males seen tampering with a motorcycle in Mazemot Avenue, NW6.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
