Singers Plead Fans For ‘Concert Etiquette’ As Incidents Concerning Safety Spiked

In the past few months, the incidents related to the safety of singers while they're performing have spiked. This started when Bebe Rexha was on the receiving end of a cellphone that was thrown by a fan from the audience out of "fun."

As the days went by, the incidents continue for other artists, resulting in an alarming trend in concert behavior among fans.

'Throwing' Incidents in Concerts

Bebe Rexha had her head stitched three times after she was thrown a cell phone on her left eye at her New York concert. Her attacker was subsequently arrested and charged with assault.

An alleged stalker and obsessed fan rushed to the stage in an attempt to hug Ava Max but resulted in slapping her instead as concert security intercepted him inches away from the singer while on her Los Angeles gig.

Kelsea Ballerini was strumming her guitar in front of a packed crowd in Boise, Idaho when she was hit by a bracelet from a fan.

Pink received two gifts while performing at her BST Hyde Park Concerts in London - a bag full of human ashes and a 6-pound wheel of Brie Cheese.

Very recently, Lil Nas X was almost hit with a sex toy while he was performing in Sweden.

Adele, Charlie Puth Pleads Concert Etiquette

Storming to Twitter to warn fans, Charlie Puth tweeted this:

"This trend of throwing things at performers while they are on stage must come to an end. It's so disrespectful and very dangerous. Please just enjoy the music I beg of you..."

Adele, on the other hand, was at her Las Vegas Residency concert, when she dared people to throw things at her.

"Have you noticed how people are, like, forgetting show etiquette at the moment, throwing (things) onstage? Have you seen it?" the singer said in the video. "I dare you, dare you to throw something at me. Stop throwing things at the artist!"

Meanwhile, experts pointed out that these "jarring trend" stems from the "blurring of online and real-life boundaries" which results in fans thirsting for "viral moments" with their favorite artists.

"It is important to ask questions about why these attacks are happening and what underlying causes or motivations may be leading people to act out in this way," licensed psychologist Nathan Brandon told USA TODAY in a statement.
