AceShowbiz - A concert featuring Ricky Martin in Montenegro was abruptly interrupted when a fan released tear gas toward the stage, causing panic among attendees and forcing the singer to leave immediately for safety.

The incident took place on 21 May during the kickoff of Ricky Martin’s European leg of his Ricky Martin Live tour. His publicist, Róndine Alcalá, addressed the situation via an Instagram statement, confirming that the artist and his team were safe following the unexpected disruption.

Róndine Alcalá explained that a tear gas canister was discharged by an individual in the audience, which led to an abrupt halt of the concert as spectators quickly moved away from the affected area. Assistance was promptly provided to those impacted by the gas.

As a safety precaution, Ricky Martin and his team exited the stage immediately while security personnel and local authorities contained the situation. The authorities also attended to the concert-goers near the gas release to ensure their well-being.

Despite the disruption, Ricky Martin was determined to continue the show. Once officials confirmed that the situation was under control and deemed the environment safe for the audience, the singer chose to resume the performance to honour his commitment to fans.

The publicist concluded by expressing gratitude for the support and concern from fans and the public following the Montenegro event, reassuring that everyone involved was unharmed.

Ricky Martin is currently engaged in a tour across eight European countries as part of his world tour. Upcoming scheduled performances include stops in Moldova, Serbia, Croatia, Italy, and Switzerland’s Pully Live Festival. Afterward, he will continue to Germany and the Czech Republic before returning to the United States for a festival in Illinois scheduled for August.

The Puerto Rican artist has been actively touring since his appearance alongside Bad Bunny at the Super Bowl Halftime Show in February. That performance featured a range of high-profile cameos, including Lady Gaga, Cardi B, Jessica Alba, and Pedro Pascal. Ricky Martin contributed by performing an acoustic rendition of Lo Que Le Paso A Hawaii, complementing the show’s tribute to Puerto Rico.

Before his European tour, Ricky Martin performed in South America accompanied by his 17-year-old twin sons, Valentino and Matteo. The twins were spotted wearing matching outfits as they arrived with their father in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

In addition to Valentino and Matteo, Ricky Martin has two younger children: Lucia, age seven, and Renn, age six, whom he shares with his former husband, Jwan Yosef. At the 2025 VMAs, when he received the Latin Icon Award, he dedicated the honour to his children, highlighting their importance to his life and work.

Throughout this challenging incident in Montenegro, Ricky Martin demonstrated professionalism and dedication to his fans by ensuring the concert continued once safety was confirmed. The artist’s team remains vigilant as the tour progresses, prioritizing the security of all attendees and performers.
