Popular performer Jessie J briefly stopped her performance in the Isle of MTV concert this evening after a fight broke out in front of the stage.

"Stop, stop stop," she told the band and then told the people involved that she would not sing while they were fighting.

"Music is about love, about getting people together, not about fighting," she said.

The trouble ended quickly and the show went on after a couple of minutes.

This is the seventh edition of the concert, which for many marks the beginning of summer.  It was sponsored by the Malta Tourism Authority.

A huge crowd filled the square for a show which also featured Rita Ora, Rudimental and Afrojack.
