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.

Rexha later shared photos of her injuries on Instagram, showing bruising around her left eye and a cut on her eyebrow.
