Unsettling Concert Incident: Bebe Rexha Struck by Phone

In a shocking incident that has stirred the music industry and fans alike, pop star Bebe Rexha was struck by a phone during her concert in New York City. The incident, which occurred at the Rooftop at Pier 17 as part of her ‘Best F’n Night of My Life’ tour, resulted in Rexha being rushed to the hospital for treatment.

The singer, known for hits such as “I’m Good,” “Blue,” and “Meant to Be,” was performing when a phone thrown by a fan hit her in the head. The impact caused Rexha to collapse to her knees, visibly in pain, and she was later escorted off the stage with her hands pressed to her face. The incident was caught on video and circulated across social media, sparking outrage and concern among fans and fellow artists.

The New York Police Department responded swiftly, arresting the alleged perpetrator, a 27-year-old concert-goer, who was subsequently charged with assault. The charge was upgraded to a felony due to the phone being used as a weapon. This incident has raised serious questions about concert safety and the behavior of attendees.

Rexha later shared photos of her injuries on Instagram, showing bruising around her left eye and a cut on her eyebrow. Despite the traumatic event, she reassured fans with a thumbs-up gesture and the caption “I’m good.”

The incident has drawn widespread support for Rexha from the music community. Celebrities including Demi Lovato, John Stamos, and others left kind words for Rexha upon seeing the photos and hearing the news. “Love you girly, I’m so sorry this happened to you,” Lovato commented.

This incident has not only marred what was meant to be a joyous event but also highlighted the need for stricter security measures at concerts. It has also sparked a conversation about the respect and decency that artists deserve while performing.

As of the latest reports, Rexha is recovering from her injuries and is due to perform on Tuesday, June 20, at the Fillmore in Philadelphia. Fans and fellow artists alike are hoping for her swift recovery and are looking forward to her return to the stage.
