In recent months, there have been several highly publicized incidents of things being thrown at musical artists. In June, singer Bebe Rexha was sent to the hospital and ended up needing stitches on her left eye after a fan threw a cellphone at her and she collapsed. Rapper Drake was also hit with a cellphone at a show in Chicago this month.
One fan threw their mother’s ashes onstage at singer Pink’s concert in London, and singer Harry Styles was seen in a video holding his left eye and wincing after an unknown object hit him in the face at a concert in Vienna.
Singer Adele, while performing during her residency in Las Vegas, warned an audience not to throw anything. “Have you noticed how people are, like, forgetting f***ing show etiquette at the moment? People are throwing s*** onstage?” she said. “Have you seen them? I f***ing dare you. I dare you to throw something at me, and I’ll f***ing kill you.”
