New Delhi: Nick Jonas, the renowned musician and member of the Jonas Brothers, has joined the growing list of artists who’ve had to deal with objects being thrown at them during live performances. At a recent Jonas Brothers concert in Sacramento, California, Nick firmly addressed the audience, requesting them to refrain from tossing bracelets onto the stage while he was performing.
A video of the incident has gone viral on social media. It shows Nick performing the Jonas Brothers’ hit song “Rollercoaster” when a fan in the crowd throws a bracelet at him. Although it momentarily catches him off guard, Nick continues singing like a professional. However, more bracelets are hurled toward the stage, prompting Nick to pause and assertively say, “No. Stop!” while making a corresponding hand gesture. He then shakes his head in mild disbelief, sporting a faint smile, before resuming his performance.

A Concerning Trend
This incident is part of a concerning trend in the music industry where audience members throw objects at performers. In June, pop sensation Bebe Rexha was struck in the face by a mobile phone thrown from the crowd during a concert in New York. She was subsequently taken to the hospital with a visible bruise above her left eye.
In July, Harry Styles experienced a similar incident when an unidentified object hit him in the face while he was on stage during a concert in Vienna. He held his head for a brief moment after the impact.
Notably, Drake was hit by a cellphone while performing at one of his concerts, and in subsequent shows, he had to dodge vapes and even books thrown in his direction. He issued a warning to the audience, reminding them that his quick reflexes prevented more serious incidents.
Adele, during a recent Las Vegas concert, also addressed this disturbing trend. She candidly called out the audience for their lack of concert etiquette and dared them to throw something at her, highlighting the need for mutual respect between artists and their fans.
