Secret weapon test blamed for US plane crash that killed four | Gravitas
Last month, Bebe Rexha got three stitches after a concertgoer threw his phone at her, hitting her near the eye.During a recent show in Los Angeles, Ava Max got slapped in the face by an attendee. Another fan appeared to have thrown their mother's ashes at P!nkduring a concert in London. Kelsea Ballerini also got hit in the eye by a bracelet during a recent show in the United States.
Some celebrities have taken notice of the dangerous trend and have asked their fans to stop. Recently, Adele called out the behaviour during her show at her Las Vegas residency.
"Have you noticed how people are like, forgetting fucking show etiquette at the moment? People just throwing shit on stage, have you seen them," Adele said. "I f**king dare you. Dare you to throw something at me and I’ll f**king kill you."
These incidents have raised concerns about the safety of both artists and attendees. It is crucial for fans to remember that while enthusiasm and admiration are encouraged, it is essential to express them in ways that are safe and respectful, both for the artists and the fans themselves. Artists often go to great lengths to connect with their audience and provide memorable experiences. It is disheartening when such incidents overshadow the true purpose of these events, which is to celebrate and enjoy the music.
