Adele warns fans after string of stage assaults: ‘I f–king dare you’
“Rumor Has It” Adele isn’t scared of aggressive concertgoers.
The British pop superstar has issued a challenge to fans who might be considering throwing something at her while she’s performing onstage, in a misguided attempt to go viral or snag some TikTok clout.
“Have you noticed how people are forgetting f – – king show etiquette at the moment and just throwing s – – t onstage?” said Adele, 35, in NSFW moment captured in an Instagram Reel. “Have you seen that? I f – – king dare you, I dare you to throw something at me. I’ll f – – king kill you.”
The “Rolling in the Deep” songstress made the bold declaration Saturday during her Las Vegas residency at Caesars Palace.
The “Set Fire to the Rain” singer’s comments come after a string of top musical artists have been accosted — by cell phones, raunchy sex toys, a massive cheese wheel and, well, worse — during live performances.
Adele then took a T-shirt cannon and began launching merchandise into the audience, chuckling that they should “stop throwing things at the artist” but she “can shoot things at the audience.”
Last week, singer-songwriter Bebe Rexha was injured in New York City by a fan who hurled his phone at her and smacked her in the eye, forcing her to cancel the remainder of her concert and get stitches.
The phone-thrower, identified as 27-year-old Nicolas Malvagna, was later detained by police and charged with assault, aggravated harassment, attempted assault and harassment.
According to police, Malvagna claimed that he thought throwing the phone at the pop star would be “funny.”
Rexha, 33, resumed her tour in Philadelphia where she joked that while they were all there to have a good time, “just no phones on my face tonight please, I beg of you.”
During the final nights of her tour, the “I’m Good (Blue)” singer donned superhero-esqe shades to protect herself from projectiles.
Days later, Ava Max, 29, sustained an eye injury while performing in Los Angeles after a fan managed to get onstage and slap the “Not Your Barbie Girl” singer.
Country singer Kelsea Ballerini, 29, was also attacked on the stage by a fan who chucked a bracelet at the “If You Go Down (I’m Goin’ Down Too)” singer forcing her to halt the show for a while.
The country singer issued a statement via Instagram stating that she was fine and healing.
Pop icon Pink also had a few surprises at her own concert while in London.
One die-hard fan gave the incredibly confused singer a bag of their mother’s ashes while another gouda fan decided to gift the singer a wheel of brie cheese.
Taking this to a tawdry new level earlier this week, one fan hurled what appeared to be a sex toy at Lil Nas X, spurring him to demand the following bit of information from his audience: “Who threw they p – – – y?”
