Charlie Puth urges fans to stop throwing things at artists

From cheese wheels to black eyes, artists have been getting a lot more from concertgoers lately than they asked for.

Aggressive behavior from audience members at several recent summer concerts has prompted performers to exercise caution.

Kelsea Ballerini became the latest singer to be hit with an object on stage when an audience member threw a bracelet and hit her in the eye.

“It scared me more than it hurt me. we all have triggers and layers of fear that are much deeper than what is shown, which is why I walked offstage to calm down and make sure myself, the band and crew, and the audience all felt safe to continue, Ballerini said on social media after taking a break during the show to check her tape.

After a man threw a phone at Bebe Rexha who punched her in the face earlier this month at a concert in New York, Rexha revealed she needed stitches for her injuries.

Days later, singer Ava Max was punched by a man who stormed the stage at a show in Los Angeles.

Pink was shocked in London when someone in the audience threw their mother’s ashes on stage as she performed.

“I don’t know how I feel about this,” she told the crowd. Oddly enough, she was also handed a wheel of cheese during a recent performance.

Harry Styles has grown into sunglasses and eye with Skittles. He was recently punched in the face with flower stalks thrown off the floor during a performance at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium as part of his ‘Love On Tour’.

Charlie Puth weighed in on the throwing trend and asked fans to please stop it.

“This trend of throwing things at artists while on stage needs to end. (Bebe, Ava, AND NOW Kelsea Ballerini…) It’s so disrespectful and very dangerous. Please just enjoy the music I beg you,” he tweeted.

Kelly Clarkson shared her take on what happened to Rexha, telling Howard Stern on his SiriusXM show that whoever threw the phone at her should “have her throw a phone at his face so he can experience that pleasure.”

She talked about feeling vulnerable during performances.

“One time I was singing to this thing and my eyes were closed, so you’re even more vulnerable, and this person on live TV — on this show oversees — rushed up on stage and came over and hugged me, put their arms around me around me.”

“It was very scary because at that moment I realized how vulnerable I was. I never thought like that before,” Clarkson added.
