The episode is the latest in a dangerous (and absurd) trend that seems to have spread like wildfire in Italy and abroad this summer.
Throwing objects at singers on stage is a dangerous (and absurd) fashion this summer. The last one who had to deal with the excessive euphoria of the fans was Elektra Lamborghini. During yesterday’s concert at the Sammichele di Bari (stage of the Elettraton tour), the singer was got into a water bottle. The live broadcast has been interrupted. “You say who you are and I will hit you on the head, see if you like it, okay? – the punctual response of the artist to the author of the gesture – . Who is a cuckold? Where are you cuckold? If you have balls, apologize because you could have hurt me. You are drunk? I’m not interested. At that time if you’re drunk don’t come herebecause another singer got hit in the chest and now had to cancel her tour. It’s dangerous guys. I don’t need your water. You throw it at your friend and neither.” The support of those present also came from the stalls. “Out, out,” chorus of the audience. An invitation to remove anyone who threw an item on the stage. “Thank you,” concluded Lamborghini.
During performances, water bottles, mobile phones and all sorts of objects are thrown at the artists, with the risk of injuring them. And this phenomenon is widespread abroad, but apparently also in Italy. To get the attention of their idols, fans try everything. But the game is definitely not worth the candle. And singers’ injuries and strange episodes are visibly multiplying. The most relevant cases are Baby Rex and Drake, hit by several mobile phones, crashed on stage, with the former having to undergo several stitches just above the eye. The story involving Pink during a concert in London is almost surreal: a fan threw her a bag with her mother’s ashes. And so far, Lil Nas, Cardi B, Ava Max, Billie Eilish and Harry Styles have been involved in countless nasty episodes.
