\n\tThis past weekend, both Zach Bryan<\/a> and Wiz Khalifa<\/a> found themselves confronting disruptive fans at their respective shows mid-performance, once again calling attention to the troubling trend in live music: objects being thrown at artists on stage.<\/p>\n \n\tCountry superstar Bryan had to stop his Tacoma Dome show in Washington after an item was tossed on stage, striking one of his on-stage guests. <\/p>\n \n\tIn a video posted to Country Central<\/em><\/a>, Bryan held up the item before he turned to the crowd and asked, \u201cWho threw this? Who was it? Does anyone know?\u201d When no one confessed, he issued a stern warning, saying, \u201cDon\u2019t throw s\u2014 at concerts, huh? And if you guys do know who threw it, you need to get \u2018em outta here, if we ever find out who did it.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tAcross the pond at Club 808 in Pattaya, Thailand, Wiz Khalifa experienced a similar disruption during an afterparty for Rolling Loud Thailand, after he paused his set when a fan threw stacks of money on stage. <\/p>\n \n\tThe rapper, who was performing his Billboard No. 1 hit \u201cBlack and Yellow,\u201d stopped to address the behavior<\/a> in a video circulating social media: \u201cStop throwing money on the stage. I\u2019m not a stripper, dog. Quit throwing money on the stage.\u201d Though the fan quickly apologized, Khalifa doubled down, saying, \u201cI\u2019ve already told you once. I\u2019m not a dancer. If you don\u2019t know, I\u2019m Wiz Khalifa.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tBoth Khalifa and Bryan resumed their performances after addressing the disturbances, but it again highlights a troubling trend that has seen artists increasingly dealing with disruptive fan behavior. Drake recently had a fan throw a vape onto his stage<\/a>, Pink was shocked when someone threw their mother\u2019s ashes at her<\/a>, and Bebe Rexha suffered an injury<\/a> after a fan threw a phone at her face during a performance.<\/p>\n \n\tDespite the disruption, country crooner Zach Bryan continues to have a major year. He is among the leading finalists for the 2024 Billboard Music Awards<\/a>, alongside Taylor Swift, Morgan Wallen, and Sabrina Carpenter. The awards show, hosted by Michelle Buteau and presented by Marriott Bonvoy, will air on Thursday, Dec. 12, at 8:00 p.m. ET\/PT on Fox and Fire TV Channels. <\/p>\n \n\tIt will also be available on-demand on Paramount+, with performances rolling out on Billboard.com<\/a> and Billboard\u2019s social media platforms.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
