Zach Bryan had a heated moment during his performance at the Tacoma Dome in Washington over the weekend when a concertgoer tossed an object onto the stage.
Bryan, who was performing alongside a fellow musician, abruptly stopped playing after picking up the item.
While addressing the audience, he demanded, “Who threw this? Who was it? Does anyone know?”
According to Daily Mail, the Grammy-winning artist sternly added, “Don’t throw s*** at concerts, huh!” to cheer from the crowd.
Moreover, he suggested ejecting the perpetrator by saying, “If we ever find out who did it, we can get them out of here.”
As per the publication, the incident sparked debate on social media after a fan-recorded clip was shared on Country’s Central’s Instagram.
While some criticized Bryan for overreacting, others defended him by noting that no performer deserves to have objects thrown at them during a show.
In regards to this, one supporter commented, “Zach is just trying to put on a good show. Don’t do something to upset someone, then blame them for being upset.”
However, others labeled him as, “the least likable guy in country music” and questioned his focus.
It is worth mentioning that this controversy follows Bryan’s highly publicized split with Barstool Sports podcaster Brianna Chickenfry in October.
