  • Adele reminded her fans of "show etiquette" after the recent spree of onstage attacks on musicians.

  • "Stop throwing things at the artist," she told the crowd, adding: "These people have lost it."

  • Bebe Rexha and Kelsea Ballerini have been hit by items thrown at them, while Ava Max was slapped.

Adele has sent a clear message to anyone thinking of throwing something at her while she's on stage.

The singer stopped her Las Vegas residency Saturday night to remind fans of "show etiquette" following a spree of onstage attacks on female performers in recent weeks.

In a video shared to Twitter by fan account @Adelettes2, the Grammy award-winning singer jokingly dared fans to attempt a similar stunt on her.

It was during Adele's regular mid-show break from her set list, which sees her use a T-shirt cannon to shoot merchandise to fans in the audience at Caesars Palace.

"Have you noticed how people are like forgetting fucking show etiquette at the moment and people are throwing shit on stage?" she asked the crowd as she walked around the stage.

"Have you seen that? I fucking dare you, I dare you throw something at me, I'll fucking kill you."

Adele then took aim with her T-shirt cannon and said as she fired: "Stop throwing things at the artist."

Cracking up, she added: "But you can shoot things at the audience."

 

As a final thought on fans who assault artists, she added: "These people have lost it."

Last month, Bebe Rexha was struck in the face with a cell phone during a New York City show. She was rushed to the hospital and, according to Rolling Stone, required stitches.

The man responsible, Nicolas Malvagna, 27, was subsequently arrested and charged with assault, the New York Police Department told Insider in a statement.

Since then, Rexha has given fans updates on her recovery and even shared a photo of her healing eye on Twitter. In her first performance since the incident, she appeared to wear safety goggles, seemingly to protect her face from a repeat incident.

Rexha's injury was just the first in a spree of onstage attacks on female performers in recent weeks.

Just two days later, Ava Max was slapped by a fan "so hard that he scratched the inside of my eye" at an LA show, and then Kelsea Ballerini was hit by an object thrown from the crowd during an Idaho concert.
