Adele issued a warning to her Las Vegas residency crowd not to hurl objects onstage in response to a string of recent instances in which fans threw objects at performers including Bebe Rexha.
While performing in New York, Rexha was struck in the eye by a fan who threw a phone at her; in Idaho, country singer Kelsea Ballerini was struck in the same area by a fan who threw a bracelet. A concertgoer even threw a bag holding their mother’s ashes onto the stage while Pink was performing, which was a rather strange episode.
“Is this your mother?” Pink says in social media videos that have gone viral: “I don’t know how I feel about this.” Adele warned in a profanity-filled social media warning that she would not put up with it.
The British balladeer claimed in a fan video uploaded to TikTok that people appear to be “forgetting… show etiquette at the moment.” She chuckled but said, “I… dare you, dare you to throw something at me.” “Stop hitting the artist with objects!” In the meantime, the artist used a T-shirt rocket to distribute free items to fortunate admirers.
Harry Styles had an eye injury from a Skittle late last year and a facial injury from a bunch of flowers lately. Singer Charlie Puth recently tweeted, “This tendency of throwing items at singers while they are on stage must come to an end. It’s really risky and disrespectful. I beseech you, just take in the music.
