Country star Zach Bryan interrupted his performance at the Tacoma Dome in Washington on Saturday night after an audience member threw an object on stage, striking another guitarist. The Grammy-winning artist scolded the fan and made it clear such behavior would not be tolerated.
In a video shared by Country Central, Zach Bryan can be seen picking up the thrown item before addressing the crowd. “Who threw this?” he asked, scanning the audience. “Does anyone know? Who was it?” He then firmly added, “Don’t throw s–t at concerts!”
Zach Bryan, 28, tossed the object back onto the floor and briefly walked away from the microphone. Returning, he continued to reprimand the unidentified fan, stating, “If you guys do know who threw it, we can get them out of here. If we ever find out who did it.”
Although the culprit was not identified, an off-camera voice was heard remarking, “I don’t think you want to own that.”
Bryan’s decisive response garnered widespread support online. One fan wrote, “I’ll never not appreciate Zach Bryan. Most artists don’t appreciate garbage thrown at them. He did nothing wrong.”
Another echoed, “He handled it like a pro. Respect to Zach for protecting his band and setting boundaries.”
Bryan’s incident highlights a growing trend of unruly behavior at live music events. In recent years, artists like Pink, Drake, and Bebe Rexha have faced similar disruptions. Pink, for instance, had a fan toss their mother’s ashes on stage, while Drake dodged a vape pen. Rexha was even injured when a phone was thrown at her during a performance.
The incident at the Tacoma Dome didn’t overshadow Bryan’s successful “Quittin’ Time” tour, which began in March. Due to overwhelming demand, the singer recently announced
Despite his flourishing career, Bryan has faced personal challenges, including a public split from ex-girlfriend Brianna “Chickenfry” LaPaglia last month. LaPaglia later accused Bryan of emotional abuse during their one-year relationship, claims which the singer has not addressed publicly.
As fans continue to celebrate Bryan’s music, Saturday’s incident serves as a stark reminder of the importance of concert etiquette, ensuring that live performances remain safe and enjoyable for all.
