“I don’t know how I feel about that,” Pink said after glancing at the bag of ashes.
Abusive incidents by fans against artists have been on the rise in recent weeks: on June 18, 2023, pop singer Bebe Rexha suffered a laceration after a fan threw his cellphone at her head, and just two days later (June 20) , pop singer Ava Max was slapped in the middle of the stage by a concert-goer.
Now there’s another incident that has gone viral in a very short time: US pop star Pink appeared at the BST Hyde Park Festival on Sunday (June 25) and was just performing the 2001 hit ‘Just Like A Pill’, when a fan threw a small clear bag onto the stage. A video shows the 43-year-old singer taking a quick look at the bag, then glancing at the audience in irritation and asking the person, “Wait, is that your mom?” After a brief pause, the person apparently confirms this , says Pink: “I don’t know how I feel about it”.
It is currently unknown why the fan catapulted the ashes onto the stage and how Pink continued to deal with the bag and its contents.
Since that incident, a discussion has erupted on Twitter about which behaviors at a concert are appropriate and which are abusive. One Twitter user wrote: “Someone gave their mother’s ashes to Pink. You have to have limits.” Another person replied: “She handled it well because I would definitely be pissed if someone gave me their mother’s ashes. I just saw another video of a guy coming out to his mom before Bebe Rexha, so yeah, boundaries! I now understand why some celebrities are so low key.”
If you also want to experience Pink live, you should get one for the shows in Germany in June and July.
