Adele issues colourful warning to fans mid-show after fellow artists injured on-stage
Adele used some colourful language to warn her audience not to throw things.
In a TikTok shared by a concert attendee, the 35-year-old Set Fire To The Rain singer is seen at one of her Las Vegas residency shows, discussing a wave of recent incidents in which objects have been thrown onto the stage by fans in the crowd, in some cases striking artists while they are performing.
Multiple artists, including recently American singer-songwriter Bebe Rexha, 33, and country pop star Kelsea Ballerini, 29, have been hit by items thrown at them while they have been performing over the American summer.

Meanwhile, Adele was brandishing a t-shirt launcher to gift shirts to her audience members.
She is currently playing concerts as part of her residency at Ceasar's Palace Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada.

The following week, Kelsea Ballerini was struck in the face while performing in Idaho.
She later addressed the incident on Instagram, writing to her followers: "Hi. I'm fine. someone threw a bracelet, it hit me in the eye, and it more so just scared me than hurt me."
"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," she continued.
"I love you and appreciate all of the concern, let's make the last two shows of the heartfirst tour the best yet."
