Standing on stage, adorned in her signature velvet gown and wielding a t-shirt gun, Adele candidly spoke to the crowd, expressing her frustration with the lack of show etiquette. She questioned the audience, drawing attention to those who have been throwing objects, saying, “Have you noticed how people are forgetting f***ing show etiquette at the moment? People just throw shit on stage, have you seen them?”
Taking a firm stand, Adele issued an ultimatum before firing into the crowd, saying, “I f***ing dare you. Dare you to throw something at me and I’ll f***ing kill you.” Her powerful words aimed to highlight the severity of the issue and put an end to such behavior.
The incident comes in the wake of singer-songwriter Bebe Rexha’s recent injury in New York City, where a fan threw his phone at her, striking her in the eye. The impact forced Rexha to cancel the rest of her concert and receive stitches. The phone-thrower, identified as 27-year-old Nicolas Malvagna, was subsequently detained and charged with assault, aggravated harassment, attempted assault, and harassment.

Authorities reported that Malvagna claimed he thought throwing the phone at the pop star would be “funny,” highlighting the dangerous mindset that some individuals possess when engaging in such reckless acts.
These incidents are not isolated cases, as other notable artists such as Pink and Kelsea Ballerini have also experienced similar unsettling incidents during their performances. Such behavior not only poses a threat to the safety of the artists but also disrupts the enjoyment of the concert for other fans.
The incidents involving these talented musicians shed light on the importance of respecting boundaries and exhibiting proper concert etiquette. Adele’s powerful response serves as a reminder that such behavior will not be tolerated, and artists deserve a safe and respectful environment to showcase their talent.
