Adele warned fans not to throw objects at her during a recent concert in a now-viral TikTok. And she did it in the most Adele way possible.
“Have you noticed how people are forgetting f*cking show etiquette at the moment?”she asked the crowd at her Las Vegas residency. “People just throwing shit onstage—have you seen that?”
The “Easy On Me” singer was referring to a recent string of viral clips showing concertgoers throwing random objects at musicians. Infamously, someone hurled a cellphone at Bebe Rexha last month during a Manhattan show, leaving her with a black eye. Country star Kelsea Ballerini had to walk offstage during a show in Idaho last week after an attendee hit her in the face with an unknown object.

In a less violent encounter, Grammy winner Pink received some odd gifts from fans while performing in London, including a wheel of Brie cheese and a bag of ashes.
“I f*cking dare you to throw something at me, and I’ll fucking kill you,” Adele said before coincidently firing a T-shirt launcher at the audience.
Pop-music fans on social media have been expressing outrage at these recent displays of poor concert etiquette and straight-up assault that seem to be occurring every other week. And seemingly, Adele is just as irritated. Based on the sound of chuckles in the video, the Las Vegas crowd took her threats well.
