On Thursday, Las Vegas police dropped a criminal investigation into an incident involving Cardi B in which the rapper was seen throwing a microphone at a member of the crowd after a drink was thrown at her.
Concertgoers have been sharing footage of singers falling victim to unruly fans. Harry Styles was hit in the eye with a sweet in Vienna, Bebe Rexha received stitches after she was hit in the face with a mobile phone in New York and Pink was left stunned when someone threw their mother's ashes onstage in London. In perhaps the most extreme incident, Ava Max was slapped mid-song by a concertgoer in LA. The man charged with assault over the Rexha incident later said he threw his phone because he thought "it would be funny".
Sam Allison, the head of events at independent music store chain Rough Trade, said this week: "This kind of disrespectful behaviour has become the new norm at live performances, but it must stop for the sake of an artist's and crowd's safety" Some believe the rise in incidents may be driven by social media, with fans trying to become a part of the show in order to post videos of stunts that could go viral.
In response, Allison has now shared his advice for concert etiquette "so all fans attending feel safe, secure and most importantly, continue to enjoy live events".
