NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: The point of concerts is to have fun, but occasionally, fans lose control and hurt others. This was exactly what happened during Bebe Rexha's ongoing 'Best F'n Night Of My Life' tour.
Rexha was smacked in the face by a phone that someone from the audience threw at her during a concert on Sunday, June 18, at The Rooftop at Pier 17 in New York City. Her mother reportedly revealed that the artist had to get three stitches.
What happened to Bebe Rexha?
'The Back to You' singer was seen in a viral video singing and making her way to the front of the stage wearing a purple outfit with her blonde hair down. As she was standing in front of the crowd, a phone suddenly flew at her from the audience and smacked her squarely in the face, causing her to double over in pain and fall to her knees as her crew swooped in to help.
Several concertgoers in attendance in New York City shared the video of Rexha, being assisted off the stage following the incident. The singer waved to the audience as medical personnel attended to her and escorted her behind the curtain at the location. A user tweeted, "Absolutely great show ruined by a fan throwing their phone at @BebeRexhahopefully she is ok after that." "This is Bebe Rexha being rushed out of the concert venue here in NYC after someone threw a f*****g phone and hit her face as she was leaving the stage," another user wrote. "We were all having a hell of a good time and so was Bebe, we were all having a blast, I mean who would even do that??? We hope you’re ok @BebeRexha." "Bebe Rexha's mother reveals that she had to get three stitches after someone in the audience threw a phone at her head during her concert," according to a tweet from the Pop Base account.
'Absolutely disgusting'
Fans of Rexha vented over the cruel attack on the pop sensation on Twitter. A fan wrote, "That's disrespect, you guys should do better next time, this is unfair." Another fan said, "People need to stop throwing their phones on the stage! Celebs are not obligated to take pictures or videos with your phone!" "This is actually really sad and that person deserves to get in trouble," remarked one user.
