Bebe Rexha Rushed Off Stage After a Phone Hits Her In The Face
Singer Bebe Rexha had to be carried off the stage after being struck in the head by a phone that a fan had thrown at a concert on Sunday.
The projectile impacted the side of the star’s head as she was giving a performance in New York, causing her to fall to her knees. Later, she was led out of the building while holding her hands to her face and seemed to be in pain.
Fans shouting “that’s assault” could be heard as security pulled a man from the crowd in a video that was shared online. Later, the New York Police stated that a concertgoer, age 27, had been accused of assault.
On Monday, Rexha uploaded pictures of her wounds to Instagram. Her left eye had bruises around it, and her eyebrow had been slashed. She did, however, add the caption “I’m good” and a thumbs-up to the photos.
Website for gossip According to her mother, who was mentioned by Pop Base, the celebrity sought medical attention and required three sutures. Rexha’s staff has been approached by the BBC for additional comment.
At Pier 17 in New York, the celebrity was finishing up her performance when the incident took place. She had previously played an impromptu rendition of Seasons in response to an audience request and brought an emotional fan from El Salvador on stage to sing I’m Gonna Show You Crazy.
Attending fans voiced their shock at the show’s conclusion.
“I’m still in shock two hours later,” wrote one on Twitter. “I saw something fly and hit her. I thought it was a CD or a paper until I saw he[r] drop.”
“People really dressed up and were in a good mood that they were going to a concert but this old man ruined everything,” added another.
“Super unsettling ending to an otherwise great show,” commented a third. “I hope she’s okay.”
Rexha is next due to perform on Tuesday 20 June at The Fillmore in Philadelphia.
She will bring the tour to London on 28 July when she plays the Shepherd’s Bush Empire.
