Patti LaBelle Rushed Off Stage Due To Bomb Threat, Fans Worried Because of Preexisting Condition

Fans are concerned for Patti LaBelle after she was escorted out of a concert venue by security guards during her concert at the Riverside Theater in Milwaukee.

The 78-year-old singer-songwriter was speaking to the audience when two security guards rushed onto the stage and removed her.

Previously, the "If Only You Knew" singer could be heard saying to security guards, "Wait, hold up!"

The reason for her removal from the stage was due to a bomb threat received by the Milwaukee Police Department.

One of the security guards whispered something to her and could be seen talking to a fan who handed her a bouquet of roses, according to a video shared by concertgoer @sunny_seokkie on Twitter.

But at one point in the video, two men in black suits stormed the stage to remove the R&B singer.

Patti LaBelle dropped the bouquet and shakily replaced the microphone on the mic stand after security explained the situation to her.

The band eventually abandoned their spot after following the security.

Patti's exit from the stage frightened concertgoers. The Milwaukee PD later stated in an official statement that the investigation was ongoing during that time.

In another viral video tweeted, fans could be heard saying they were unsure if they could return to the venue because it would be up to the Riverdale Theater to determine whether it was safe for concertgoers to return.

Now, fans are concerned about the Philadelphia native "Godmother of Soul" after seeing the viral video.

Patti LaBelle suffers from type 2 diabetes and collapsed on stage in 1994. During an interview with the Daily Times, the "Somebody Loves You Baby" singer revealed how she started to take care of herself ever since.

The singer confessed she quit eating those she enjoyed, such as "cheesecake, fried chicken," and more.

"It's easy with diabetes. You just have to get out of your mind about that cheesecake and butter. It's very hard for a woman who travels."

"We will go to war over Patti LaBelle," one Twitter user said, questioning who would even do such a thing to the 60s singer.

"Who attempted to blow up Patti? Is it about the pie? Because this is getting to be too much," one person remarked.

"Protect Patti at all costs," a second person urged.

"I'm happy she has great protection," another Twitter user said.
