AceShowbiz - Country star Zach Bryan was forced to stop his concert in Tacoma, Washington, after an object was thrown on stage, hitting his guitarist. In a fan-recorded video, Bryan is seen addressing the crowd at the Tacoma Dome, visibly upset after the unknown object, tossed from the audience, struck his fellow musician.
"Who threw this? Who was it? Does anyone know? Who was it?" the Grammy-winning "Something in the Orange" singer demanded, as reported by multiple sources.
The incident, captured in various fan videos circulating on social media, saw the 28-year-old artist stop playing and return to the microphone to scold the unidentified fan. "Don't throw s**t at concerts! And if you guys do know who threw it, we can get them out of here," Bryan warned the audience.
This disruptive incident forms part of a challenging period for Bryan, who has been dealing with personal issues following a high-profile split from ex-girlfriend Brianna LaPaglia a.k.a. Chickenfry. The country star and the 25-year-old internet personality ended their relationship in October after a year of dating, amidst accusations of emotional abuse from LaPaglia.
LaPaglia has publicly alleged on her "BFFs" podcast that Bryan had emotionally mistreated her throughout their relationship. "The last year of my life has been the hardest year of my life dealing with the abuse from this dude," she claimed. Bryan has remained silent on these accusations, but the controversy has not gone unnoticed by fans and critics alike.
Reactions to the incident and Bryan's behavior have been mixed. While some fans defended him, asserting, "no one deserves to have s**t thrown at them," others criticized his response, accusing him of being overly sensitive. One user on Country Central's Instagram page commented, "Please stop buying tickets to his shows so he goes away already."
The object-throwing incident is the latest in a string of similar events faced by performers recently, with artists like Pink, Drake, and Bebe Rexha also being targeted by flying objects during their concerts.
Despite the tumultuous circumstances, Bryan's "Quittin' Time" tour continues to be in high demand, prompting him to add 17 more dates. The tour will run through July 2025, showcasing his resilience and continued popularity in the face of personal and professional challenges.
