Over the past few weeks, fans filled with a little too much zeal have been throwing bizarre things on the stage while artists are performing. Pop artist Pink at a summer festival in London received a wheel brie wheel and also a fan’s mother’s ashes in an urn while performing on the stage.
And sometimes the audience has been totally disrespectful towards singers as a fan threw his phone at Bebe Rexha while she was performing in New York. Following this recently, country hitmaker Miranda Lambert called out a bunch of ladies taking selfies while the artist was performing in Las Vegas. And many people think the artist did it to avoid any such incident at her concert.
