TheDaylightsinger’s latest flying-object incident comes after stars includingBebe Rexha,Drake,Kelsea Ballerini,Steve Lacy,Kid CudiandPinkhave all endured concertgoers throwing objects toward them mid-performance.
Rexha, 33, was struck in the face while performing in New York City last month, when crowd member Nicolas Malvagna threw his phone in the middle of a song. The “I’m Good (Blue)” musician was knocked to the ground as a result, and the phone split her eyebrow and required stitches.
The New York District Attorney’s Office has since told PEOPLE that Malvagna was arrested and charged with two counts of third degree assault as well as second degree aggravated harassment, third degree attempted assault and second degree harassment. According to the criminal complaint, the attendee told police he was " trying to see if I could hit her with the phone at the end of the show because it would be funny."
His lawyer, Todd Spodek, told PEOPLE in a statement at the time: “Nicolas, like many other fans, was hoping to interact in some way with Ms. Rexha as the phone was returned. It was never his intention to injure Ms. Rexha in any way.”

“Have you noticed how people are forgetting f—ing show etiquette at the moment? People are throwing s— on stage. Have you seen that?" the “Hello” singer, 35, asked, according toa fan-filmed video, before joking: “I f—ing dare you — I dare you throw something at me. I’ll f—ing kill you.”
Charlie Puthshared similar thoughts on Twitter this month. “This trend of throwing things at performers while they are onstage must come to an end,” Puth, 31, wrote. “It’s so disrespectful and very dangerous. Please just enjoy the music, I beg of you.”
