The former Pussycat Doll, 38, who is playing lead character Rachel Marron, was forced to stop her rendition of I Will Always Love You due to the chaos. 

Audience members at Palace Theatre in Manchester refused to stop singing over the the actors, with ‘mini riots’ erupting in the crowd. 

Discussing the incident on her Instagram Story, Melody thanked those who were ‘respectful’ and said ‘it feels awful’ that the show had to be stopped.    

The singer explained: ‘I just wanted to send a special message to the people in Manchester who came to the show tonight to say thank you and I respect that you paid your money.’

She continued: ‘I am so grateful to the people who respect those on stage, who wanted to give you a beautiful show. 

‘For everything that happened tonight, I can’t say, I don’t have all of the details. I just am very, very sorry that we couldn’t finish the show, I fought very hard it feels awful.’

‘I just hope that we see you again The Bodyguard is a great show, it’s wonderful show, a love story and I know people were out to see a really beautiful show 

‘I like to thank everyone who was respectful of the performers and sorry for those who weren’t, thank you, love you.’

Melody’s apology comes after a woman was dragged out of the performance by security after she refused to stop singing along despite the venue’s rules.

Shocking footage shows the moment the woman was forcibly removed from the Palace Theatre in Manchester as riot police were called.

The show was paused in its first act as staff at the theatre were forced to drag out several people singing loudly during the performance.

It was halted again just 10 minutes from the final curtain as police arrived on the scene.

Others attending said that ‘fights’ and ‘mini riots’ erupted in the theatre during the chaotic performance, Manchester Evening News reported.

Members of the audience applaud security guards as they are dragged outside.

Around six police officers were pictured at the venue, while several police vans were parked outside.

One person at the show posted online: ‘Seen a lot of reports about bad behaviour at the theatre lately, and wondered if they were a bit overblown. Anyway, at the Palace tonight and they had to stop the show during the first act to eject disruptive audience members.

‘They’ve had to stop the show AGAIN during the finale because of people shouting out, screaming and being incredibly disruptive. Just unbelievably disrespectful to the actors. And they’re refusing to leave. This is horrendous. Never seen anything like it.

‘They decided not to finish the performance because of the disruption. Feel so sorry for the whole cast. Respect to all the staff at the Manchester Palace for trying to deal with an incredibly difficult situation. Three police vehicles outside the theatre. Awful.’

Another said: ‘There was a lot of heckling at Melody Thornton [the lead singer] who was on the stage solo at this point.

‘Her mic was cut and the curtain was brought down for the second time. A fight broke out in the upper stands as security tried to deal with members of the audience. 

‘It was about ten mins to the end after an earlier stoppage in the show as others were removed.’

Someone else added: ‘Can’t believe we was all kicked out 10 minutes before the end. Disrespectful idiots singing and screaming. I felt for the amazing performers and gutted I didn’t get to see the end.’
