In recent times, concertgoers have thrown objects at artists performing on stages around the world – and now the phenomenon seems to have spread to Sweden as well.
On Thursday evening, it was Miss Snusk’s turn to be forced to cancel her concert when she was attacked with, among other things, snuff boxes, reports Gefle Dagblad.
It was an engaged audience that listened to Fröken Snusk in connection with the concert that was held on Thursday evening, and which was part of the Gävle Stadsfest event that runs between 9–12 August.
But the initially happy mood took a surprising turn when fans suddenly started throwing objects onto the stage – something that was not appreciated by the epa queen herself, according to Gefle Dagblad.
Snuff box stopped
As fans continued to throw things on stage, the artist had enough and warned the crowd that she would stop the show if they didn’t stop.
But despite the admonition, someone in the crowd threw up a snuffbox, causing her to end the concert early to the disappointment of the other concertgoers.
Phenomenon that spreads
However, Miss Snusk is not the only artist who has had things thrown at her on stage in recent times.
In late July, superstar Cardi B had a drink thrown at her during a performance at Drai’s Beach Club in Las Vegas, to which she responded by throwing her microphone back into the crowd.
Earlier this summer, a bag of human ashes was also thrown on stage when Pink performed in London, and in June American singer Bebe Rexha was injured in the face when a person threw a phone on stage during her concert in Manhattan, New York.
Even Harry Styles and Drake have had objects thrown at them during their concerts.
