Artists Call for Improved Concert Etiquette as Incidents of Objects Thrown at Performers Rise

Adele, Charlie Puth, and other musicians urge fans to stop endangering artists by throwing items during live shows.
Bebe Rexha, Ava Max, Kelsea Ballerini, and Pink have sustained injuries from objects hurled at them on stage in recent weeks.
Experts attribute the rise in incidents to social media fame-seeking, loss of understanding of public behavior post-pandemic, and erosion of boundaries between fans and celebrities.
Adele joked that she would "kill" anyone who dared throw something at her during her Las Vegas residency.
Media have reported on a "dangerous trend" of increased violence against artists at live events with no single explanation for the uptick.
