Kelsea Ballerini

Bracelets, phones and Sweets - They 're just some of the items that have been thrown at artists On Stage recently.

Now Adele is the latest to speak out about the trend, joking with a Las Vegas audience she would " kill" anyone who tried to chuck something On Stage .

In a widely shared clip, where the musician is holding a T-shirt gun, she told The Crowd people have forgotten " show etiquette".

" Dare you to throw something at me, " she joked, before shooting a T-shirt.

Adele is known for throwing shirts into The Crowd during her Vegas residency, but her comments are in response to string of incidents where fans have hurled things On Stage .

Last month popstar Bebe Rexha was injured and taken to hospital after being hit by a phone while performing.

And Lil Nas X seemed amused when a sex toy landed On Stage while he was performing in Sweden on Saturday.

Harry Styles was hit in The Eye with a sweet at a gig in November and more recently Pink looked uncomfortable when a bag of human ashes was thrown On Stage .

Ava Max has also been slapped On Stage and someone threw a bracelet at Country Singer Kelsea Ballerini in June.

Charlie Puth has also asked people to stop, writing on Twitter that " the trend. . Must come to an end" and that it's " disrespectful and very dangerous".

So why are fans doing it?

Dr Lucy Bennett is a lecturer at Cardiff University who looks into The Relationship between fans and their favourite singers.

She says people's attitudes may have changed since the Covid pandemic " where we couldn't be physically present at concerts".

And Dr Bennett thinks Some People are doing it because it's harder to be seen by artists on Social Media .

" If you're in the same physical space as them, and you're throwing something, then you're going to get noticed, " she says.
