Zach Bryan stops concert after someone throws object on stage

Zach Bryan doesn’t take concertgoers throwing things on stage lightly.
The “Something in the Orange” singer, 28, stopped a recent show in Washington after someone in the audience tossed an object toward him. A guitar player Bryan was performing with was hit by the object.
Video shared on social media by Country Central showed Bryan halting his performance and walking toward a microphone to scold the person responsible.
“Who threw this?” he asked, holding the object. “Who was it? Does anyone know? Who was it?”
People in the audience seemed to try to identify the perpetrator, as Bryan asked, “Who are we pointing at?” He then told fans not to throw things during concerts, prompting cheers.

“And if you guys do know who threw it, we can get them out of here if we ever find out who did it,” he added.
USA TODAY has reached out to representatives for Bryan for more information.
The country star was just the latest in a long list of musicians who have had things thrown at them during live performances.
People (and performers) are throwingthings at concerts. A list of recent incidents.
Last year, a man was charged with assault after throwing a phone at Bebe Rexha during a show. The pop star was taken to the hospital and later shared a selfie where she had a black eye.
Not long after, Kelsea Ballerini temporarily stopped a performance after being hit with a bracelet that was thrown at her.
“Someone threw a bracelet, it hit me in the eye, and it more so just scared me than hurt me,” Ballerini later wrote on Instagram. “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.”
Zach Bryan apologizesfor ‘drunkenly’ comparing Taylor Swift and Kanye West
In another incident last year, a fan threw a bag of ashes at Pink. “This is your mom?” the singer asked as she picked up the bag. “I don’t know how I feel about this.” A fan also threw a drink at Cardi B while she was on stage, leading the singer to fight back by throwing her microphone at them.
Other artists who have had objects thrown at them include Lady Gaga, Drake and Lil Nas X.
Amid all this, Adele said during her Las Vegas residency last year that people were “forgetting” show etiquette and joked that if anyone tries throwing an object at her, she’ll “kill you!”
Bryan is currently on his “The Quittin Time Tour” and will next perform on Tuesday at the Moda Center in Portland.
