Adele warns fans not to throw things at performers after string of incidents

Adele warned her Las Vegas residency audience not to throw things onstage, addressing the spate of recent incidents that saw fans chuck items at performers, including US singer Bebe Rexha.

Rexha suffered an injury to the eye after a fan threw a phone at her as she performed in New York, while country artist Kelsea Ballerini was hit in the eye by a bracelet thrown by a fan in Idaho.

And in a particularly bizarre incident, a concertgoer tossed a bag containing their mother’s ashes onstage where Pink was performing.

“This is your mum?” Pink says in videos circulated on social media, before adding: “I don’t know how I feel about this.”

Adele will not be having it, the artist declared in an expletive-laden warning that has spread on social media.
