Lil Nas X: Why are fans throwing things on stage?
By Jack Gray & Shaun DacostaBBC Newsbeat
Imagine performing On Stage in front of thousands of people, then something is thrown at you from The Crowd .
It feels like there's a video of a Different - and weirder - Object being chucked at an artist blowing up on Social Media every weekend.
Most recently, Lil Nas X seemed amused when a sex toy landed on The Stage while he was performing in Sweden on Saturday.
But a few weeks ago popstar Bebe Rexha was injured and taken to hospital after being hit by a phone On Stage .
The Man charged with The Incident , but it's no laughing matter for many artists.
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 .
Sweet but Psycho singer Ava Max has also been slapped On Stage and someone threw a bracelet at Country Singer Kelsea Ballerini on the weekend.
The Kelsea incident led singer Charlie Puth to plead with fans on Twitter saying " the trend. . Must come to an end" and that it's " disrespectful and very dangerous".
So why are some fans paying money to go and see musicians, only to start chucking things at them?
Dr Lucy Bennett is a lecturer at Cardiff University who looks into The Relationship between fans and their favourite singers.
She says that collective action from fans can create a sense of " belonging" between their community.
" However, I think something is changing more recently and we're seeing more isolated, disruptive, individual physical acts such as throwing items, " she tells BBC Newsbeat.
She also says people's attitudes may have changed since the Covid pandemic " where we couldn't be physically present at concerts".
And Lucy thinks Some People are doing it because it's harder to get noticed by artists on Social Media .
Throwing things On Stage is not the only thing that crowds are doing to annoy artists either.
Lucy May Walker is a singer whose songs have been featured on Love Island , but at her gigs she finds fans aren't paying enough attention.
" I have always hated playing music, where I'm pouring my heart out and I'm just listening to The Sound of people chatting Over It , " she says.
" You have to tell them off very politely without them hating you.
" If all of The Audience are just talking through my set, I Promise you I would rather just play to an empty room. "
