The Dare filmed falling to the ground mid-performance after failed crowd-surfing attempt
The Dare has enjoyed a rapid rise as a singer and producer, but he failed to find much support when he attempted to crowd- surf at a recent show.
The 29-year-old Los Angeles-born musician, real name Harrison Patrick Smith, was performing at the Marble Factory in Bristol, England on Sunday, March 16.
Midway through closing his set with his 2022 viral hit 'Girls,' The Dare decided to dive from the stage into the audience below him.
However, with many fans already occupied filming events with their phones in their hands, the crowd failed to catch him. Video circulating on social media showed the artist disappear unimpeded through the audience as he fell to the ground, before eventually making his way back to his feet and continuing the song while perched on the front barrier.
The clip was captioned: 'THE DARE takes a tumble in Bristol last night.'
The artist has apparently had more success crowd-surfing in the past. One viral tweet from January read: 'The dare crowdsurfing just felt like passing around a tv remote.'
After receiving widespread mockery over the incident on social media, the musician poked fun at himself on X, writing on Wednesday: 'Record scratch. Freeze frame. Yep, that's me. You're probably wondering how I ended up here.'
Speaking to The Independent last year, The Dare reacted to being described as the 'poster boy for the indie sleaze revival.'
'I guess it's better than working at a gas station,' he said. 'I don't think anybody likes getting labelled anything except 'creative genius' or 'visionary artist of our lives'.'
He went on: 'It's like if you were to call The Beatles a British pop band, that would be wildly misleading as to what The Beatles are in the world.
'There's truth in the whole indie sleaze thing, but I just hate those words a lot.'
He also discussed the creation of his hit single 'Girls', explaining that he first wrote it as a joke to send to his friends.
He finished a first demo within a few hours in the bedroom of his East Williamsburg flat. 'My ex-girlfriend was like, 'Do not release this,'' he recalled.
As for his song 'Guess,' which became another hit after he produced it for Charli XCX and Billie Eilish, he recalled: 'I had an early version of that song neither of us were excited by. Then Charli came to town for the Met Gala, and I was throwing one of my parties that weekend, so I made a jacked-up club version for the event and sent it to her, and she was like: 'That's the song. That's it.''

Meet the Glaswegian stars of I Kissed A Boy season two
This is the first thing that hospital pharmacist Jack D says as he recounts his time on the hit BBC dating show, I Kissed A Boy. Image of Jack, supplied. Speaking to the Glasgow Times, Jack described the experience as surreal, before adding: 'I'll never get to do something like that ever again. I've made lifelong friends.' And one of those friends is fellow Glaswegian and finance analyst, Jas. Image of Jas, supplied. The two Glasgow-born boys entered the Italy cottage, known as the Masseria, with eight other men for a summer of love. Matched on what they are looking for in a partner, each contestant must skip the chat and niceties when they meet on the Masseria grounds for the first time and go straight in for a kiss before entering the Masseria with their partner to explore their relationship and possible connections with the other men. READ NEXT: Two Glaswegians star in hit BBC reality show I Kissed A Boy Hosted by pop icon Dannii Minogue and narrated by Strictly Come Dancing finalist Layton Williams, this season of the show — which aired on May 11 — threw Jack and Jas into some wild experiences and left them with plenty of incredible memories, including meeting Dannii Minogue, of course. Jas, 27, said: 'This experience is something that I will never forget in my entire life. 'It was the most beautiful celebration of what it means to be queer. To have my name attached to that is such a pinch-me moment. I genuinely would do it a million times over.' (Image: Images provided) 'When I first saw Dannii across the pool on that first day, I went non-verbal,' Jack said. He continued: 'I have loved her music since I was younger and loved watching her on The X Factor. They say never meet your heroes, but I've met mine and it was everything I thought it would be in the best way.' Speaking on Dannii's unwavering support for the queer community, Jack added: 'She's such an ally. Behind the scenes, she really does care about all of us and wants us to do well. She's not just there to do a job, she loves the show. She's been so outspoken – especially about trans inclusivity, I'm just in awe of her.' Jas agreed, saying: 'She cares about the community, and she champions it. She is a textbook ally, through and through.' (Image: Images provided) The show – which is the UK's first dating show exclusively for gay men – is not just about kissing and meeting your pop heroes though. From Lars being the show's first transgender contestant and Adam revealing his journey with HIV to Jas talking about what it means to be queer and Punjabi, the show is all about breaking down barriers and opening space for important conversations. Through this, so many viewers have seen themselves represented on TV for the first time ever. Jas said: 'The number of messages I've had from Punjabi, queer and even Scottish people who have seen themselves represented in this show because of me is so special and beautiful. 'I want to be the best role model that I possibly can be. I will not let this platform go to waste. I want to make an impact and help the community by spreading as much love and positivity as I possibly can. So that way, when I'm old and wrinkly in about a year's time, I can look back and be like, I did that.' (Image: Images provided) Jack, 26, added: 'I don't ever remember watching a queer dating show that had a trans person in it. I remember when Lars told me and I thought, 'He's literally going to change the world'." READ NEXT: 'People are travelling for our food': India takeaway go viral for 'tangy' treat When they aren't on national TV kissing boys, one of Jack's favourite places to go is Café Buena Vida in the Southside of Glasgow, where he is a resident DJ and Jas loves Loch Lomond. He explained: 'It's my favourite place in the world. When I learned how to drive that was like my thing. I would drive there with a speaker and listen to music. Then I started to make friends, and we'd go and make a whole evening of it. It became my outlet and source of freedom. 'I love that you can literally be in Glasgow city centre and within an hour you can be surrounded by so much nature and peace. I am so proud to be Scottish. I'm so proud to be from Glasgow. It's one of the most incredible places full of people that are so friendly and there's a real sense of community just by being Glaswegian.' (Image: Images provided) Catch up with the full series of I Kissed a Boy on BBC iPlayer. The reunion is set to air on Saturday, June 15 at 9pm on BBC Three.

Reese Witherspoon's nepo baby Ava mortified after fans point out awkward detail about her boyfriend
Reese Witherspoon 's nepo baby Ava Phillippe was mortified after her followers pointed out an awkward detail about herself and her boyfriend Dakota Brubaker on Wednesday. The 25-year-old LBI Entertainment model decided to respond to a comment from TikTok user @mahriahlee which called them 'Reese & Ryan' - implying they resembled the 49-year-old Oscar winner and her ex-husband Ryan Phillippe. Ava - who's named after Ava Gardner - visibly cringed reacting to the comment, waving her hands no, while Dakota looked equally uncomfortable. 'You guys,' Phillippe scoffed in the caption. 'Whaaaaattt.' However, the Kamala Harris supporter also leaned into the comparison by having the anthem from her famous folks' 1999 movie Cruel Intentions - The Verve's 1997 hit Bittersweet Symphony - blaring in the background. And Brubaker wore glasses and a black turtleneck to more authentically evoke Ryan's character Sebastian Valmont, who seduces the innocent Annette Hargrove (Reese) in Roger Kumble's modern adaptation of the 1782 novel Les Liaisons Dangereuses. Witherspoon and the 50-year-old SAG Award winner - who are also parents of 21-year-old son Deacon Phillippe - divorced in 2007 after seven years of marriage. 'You guys,' Phillippe scoffed in the caption. 'Whaaaaattt.' And Brubaker wore glasses and a black turtleneck to more authentically evoke Ryan's character Sebastian Valmont, who seduces the innocent Annette Hargrove (Reese) in Roger Kumble's modern adaptation of the 1782 novel Les Liaisons Dangereuses

Porn Britannia, Xi's absence & no more lonely hearts?
OnlyFans is giving the Treasury what it wants – but should we be concerned? 'OnlyFans,' writes Louise Perry, 'is the most profitable content subscription service in the world.' Yet 'the vast majority of its content creators make very little from it'. So why are around 4 per cent of young British women selling their wares on the site? 'Imitating Bonnie Blue and Lily Phillips – currently locked in a competition to have sex with the most men in a day – isn't pleasant.' OnlyFans gives women 'the sexual attention and money of hundreds and even thousands of men'. The result is 'a cascade of depravity' that Perry wouldn't wish on her worst enemy. In business terms, however, OnlyFans is a 'staggering success', according to economics editor Michael Simmons. 'Britain's sex industry brings in far more to the economy than politicians are comfortable admitting'; OnlyFans might just be Britain's most profitable tech start-up. 'If we are going to wage a moral war on porn,' Simmons argues, 'we should at least be honest about what we're sacrificing.' Louise and Michael joined the podcast to discuss further (1:21). Next: could Xi Jinping's time be up? Historian Francis Pike writes about the unusual absence of China's President Xi. China-watchers have detected some subtle differences from the norm in Chinese media, from fewer official references to Xi to changes in routine politburo meetings. So, could Xi Jinping be forced to step down? And if so, who is on manoeuvres and why? Francis joined the podcast alongside former diplomat Kerry Brown, professor of China Studies at King's College London (22:31). And finally: is the era of the lonely hearts ad coming to an end? Tony Whitehead provides his notes on lonely hearts columns this week, writing about how, 330 years after they first appeared in print in Britain, they may soon disappear. Francesca Beauman – who literally wrote the book on the subject, Shapely Ankle Preferr'd – and Mark Mason join the podcast to provide their favourite examples, from the serious to the humorous (35:13). Hosted by William Moore and Lara Prendergast. Produced by Patrick Gibbons.
