Quinn took to Twitter to address the situation that occurred late last night.
“Sorry for ending the show somewhat abruptly tonight,” Quinn tweeted, “but I watched 3 kids who could’ve been seriously hurt because of lack of security.. and no barricade.. your safety is our main priority.. so I made a judgment call. See you next time.”

More on Sleeping With Sirens
Sleeping With Sirens released their latest album, How It Feels To Be Lost, Sep. 6 marking their debut with Sumerian Records and last release with former drummer Gabe Barham.
The members of Sleeping With Sirens recently sat down with us to discuss the new record, along with other issues.
“I know it’s a cliché,” rhythm guitarist Nick Martin says, “but this album is definitely the culmination of the six years I’ve been with the band—whether that’s the different sounds we’ve tried or becoming closer and closer as a family and realizing what we do and don’t want to do. I feel insanely grateful and humbled. There’s not a day that goes by that I don’t feel so appreciative of being able to do what we do, but specifically what this album turned into. It came at the perfect time for us, and the stars aligned so perfectly in terms of where Kellin was at, where Justin was at, where I was at.
“There wasn’t any pressure. It was just a lot of fun, and I think getting back to the basics of just having fun was the ultimate goal. I think that was achieved, and you can hear that throughout the record and in Kellin’s lyrical content. I actually think what was ‘fun’ for him was being able to get everything off his chest. Everything was therapeutic for him, and he feels so great now because of that process.”
