The rapper/singer is the latest musician to be smacked by a flying object at a gig.
Video footage from the concert at the United Center shows the phone flying through the air before hitting Drake in the chest and arm and dropping to the stage floor.The incident at the show – which marked the start of Drake’s ‘It’s All a Blur’ tour which he’s co-headlining with 21 Savage – is the latest involving projectiles at gigs and comes just weeks after pop star Bebe Rexha was hit in the face by a phone during a show in New York.
Adele recently reminded gig-goers of concert “etiquette” after the spate of bizarre items being thrown at artists of late.The singer was left with a black eye after being hit in the face by the device which was hurled at her by someone in the crowd at her show in New York City on June 18. The ‘Heart Wants What It Wants’ songstress was seen dropping to her knees and clutching her face as stagehands at Pier 17’s The Rooftop venue rushed to help her before she left the stage completely.
In a post on her Instagram Story, she wrote: “I’m fine, someone threw a bracelet at me, it hit me in the eye and it more so just scared me than hurt me. Singer Kelsea Ballerini suffered a similar incident during her show at the Idaho Botanical Garden in Boise, Idaho on June 28 when a fan threw a bracelet on stage and it hit her in the face.“We all have triggers and layers of fears way deeper than what is shown, and that’s why I walked offstage to calm down and make sure myself, band and crew, and the crowd all felt safe to continue. “That’s all I ever want, is for shows to feel like a safe place for us all.
