Artists Targeted by Objects Thrown from Crowds During Concerts

Drake was hit by a cell phone thrown at him while performing in Chicago but appeared unharmed.
Other recent incidents involved objects thrown at Bebe Rexha, Kelsea Ballerini, Pink, and Ava Max during their performances.
The severity of these incidents ranges from minor to severe, including injuries requiring medical attention.
Experts argue that blurred lines between audiences and performers and factors like heightened expectations and post-pandemic frustrations may contribute to this trend.
Though not a new phenomenon, dangerous behavior from crowds seems to be increasing, with some artists speaking out against it and calling for safer concert environments.
