In recent months, there have been a number of incidents of fans throwing objects at musicians on stage. This has led to calls for better security at concerts and a more respectful attitude from concertgoers.
One of the most high-profile incidents took place in June, when a fan threw a bracelet at country singer Kelsea Ballerini during a concert in Boise, Idaho. The bracelet hit Ballerini in the eye, and she was forced to stop the show to address the crowd.
"If you ever don't feel safe, please let someone around you know," Ballerini said. "If anyone's pushing too much or you just have that gut feeling, just always flag it. Don't throw things."
Another incident took place in July, when a fan threw a bag of their mother's ashes onstage at a Pink concert in London. Pink was visibly shaken by the incident, and she paused the show to address the crowd.
"This is your mum?" Pink asked. "I don't know how I feel about this."
These are just two of the many incidents that have taken place in recent months. In response, many musicians have spoken out against the practice of throwing objects on stage.
One of the most vocal critics is Adele. At a recent concert in Las Vegas, Adele took to the stage with a t-shirt cannon and fired it into the crowd.
"Have you noticed how people are like forgetting f---ing show etiquette in America, they're just throwing s--- on stage?" Adele said. "I dare you to throw something on this stage right now. I dare you."
Adele's comments have been echoed by other musicians, including Bebe Rexha and Steve Lacy. These incidents have highlighted the need for better security at concerts and a more respectful attitude from concertgoers.
It is important to remember that musicians are people too, and they deserve to be treated with respect. If you are attending a concert, please be mindful of your actions and do not throw objects on stage.
