Adele has warned fans not to throw objects on stage during the singer’s performance after a fan threw ash at Pink during her show.
The 35-year-old singer interrupted her recent Las Vegas show to criticize the trend of concert-goers throwing objects at stars on stage.
The trend dates back years, when avid fans threw their underwear at musicians at concerts to show their admiration, but now it’s seeing a resurgence.
But concert-goers are increasingly throwing a whole host of bizarre objects on stage, and one fan unusually decides to throw her mother’s ashes at Pink.
From fans throwing kiwis at Harry Styles to cheese being thrown at Alex James from Pink and Blur, all the weird things thrown at stars on stage.

ASH
Pink was stunned at her concert at London’s BST Hyde Park last month when a fan threw her mum’s ashes on stage in a bag.
The 42-year-old singer was amazed when she was presented with the pouch, before turning to the fan to clarify that inside were her mother’s remains.
After the bizarre confirmation, the Never Gonna Not Dance Again hitmaker admitted, “I don’t know what to make of this.”
After walking back to the stage from the central aisle, Pink added, “I have to say that was a first.”
She also received a number of other “gifts” from her fans during the show, including teddy bears, flowers, and artwork.
Surprisingly, Pink wasn’t the only star who was gifted ashes by one of her fans, as the same happened to Charli XCX.
Unusually, although she wasn’t thrown on stage, 30-year-old Charli was presented with the ashes of a fan’s mother at a meet-and-greet and asked to pose with them.
The photos went viral at the time and showed Charli first posing with the fan before holding up the ashes to pose with them.
Ouch! Pink was recently stunned during her concert at London’s BST Hyde Park last month when a fan threw her mother’s ashes on stage in a bag. Ashes: Unusually, although not thrown on stage, 30-year-old Charli was also presented with the ashes of a fan’s mother at a meet-and-greet and I was asked to pose with them. What’s next? Earlier this month, Charli also took to Twitter to ask her fans what they would throw on stage after Bebe Rexha saw a phone thrown at her
Charli later opened up about the unique incident in an interview with id in 2019, confessing that she hoped it would be a “one off” incident.
“Yes, keeping the ashes was … new and hopefully a one-time thing,” she told the publication.
Earlier this month, Charli also took to Twitter to ask her fans what they would throw on stage after Bebe Rexha saw a phone thrown at her.
She wrote: “Pink gets brie, baby gets cell phones, what are you guys throwing at me on stage???”
After a fan brought up the ash incident, she added, “No, no, you’re right.” I would be really upset if someone threw anything at me on stage. I would walk away and not come back. And if it was her phone I would keep it and leak all her texts.’
KIWIS
Harry Styles is another singer to have objects thrown at him on stage by adoring fans.
And the 29-year-old Watermelon Sugar hitmaker was once pelted with a kiwi on stage – apparently in reference to his hit song named after the fruit.
In 2017, Harry slipped on stage after a piece of fruit was thrown at him while performing his hit song “Kiwi.”
Ouch! Harry Styles is another singer who has had objects thrown at him on stage, and once had a kiwi thrown at him – a reference to his song of the same name
The awkward slip at the Hammersmith Apollo resulted in the star reaching for his microphone to stand upright and avoid a complete fall on stage.
Harry later discussed the infamous incident during an appearance on ` Radio 1’s breakfast show and admitted he hadn’t been hit directly by the fruit.
Referring to her own hit, presenter Nick Grimshaw mentioned fans throwing umbrellas at Rihanna on stage and asked how he felt about the incident.
Harry said, “Yes, I definitely mean more of a kiwi than an umbrella, less sharp edges, but umbrellas don’t cause bruises.”
“I haven’t been hit directly by a kiwi yet,” he added.
A bouquet of flowers also collided with Harry, and at concerts he was hit in the eye with a Skittle, prompting the crowd to throw objects at him.
CHEESE
Blur’s Alex James has revealed how fans often throw cheese at him during his performance instead of throwing underwear as usual.
The 54-year-old bassist has become a cheesemaker since the rock band’s heyday in the 1980s, and revealed how fans have expressed their support for his new career.
Alex, who runs a 500-acre dairy farm with his wife Claire Neate, revealed his fans have long known his love of cheese and threw it at him on stage.
Speaking on This Morning in April, he shared, “I’ve had a lot of cheese thrown at me.” [on stage]still do.
‘[Fans] “I’ve always done that, I still get cheese in the mail, I still get it presented in hotel lobbies, it’s nice.”
Delighted: When Pink took the stage for her performance in Hyde Park last week, she was uniquely gifted with a giant wheel of Brie
Alex is currently on the 35th anniversary reunion tour with Blur and may see more cheese during his stay at Wembley Stadium this weekend.
He’s not even the only celeb who was thrilled when he was presented with cheese on stage.
When Pink took the stage for her performance in Hyde Park last week, she was uniquely gifted with a giant wheel of Brie.
Pink was singing her hit song “Perfect” when she noticed the loaf of Brie De Meaux, a French cheese, and asked to be passed to the crowd to her on stage.
The fan had spent the money on the gift, which can cost anywhere from £60 to over £100 for a 3kg block.
Delighted with the snack, Pink hugged the fan and thanked her before continuing with the song.
TEDDY BEARS
Lady Gaga was quite shocked when a teddy bear was thrown at her during a live performance in Toronto last August.
The 37-year-old superstar was coerced dodging the flying object mid-song as she wowed the crowd at Rogers Center Canada.
Footage from a bystander showed Gaga singing on the microphone as the teddy was thrown loose, prompting her to quickly move sideways to avoid him.
After that, like a true pro, she carried on as if nothing had happened.
The fan who shared the clip on Twitter, Jo Shelton, told MailOnline of the incident: “I decided to record part of Gaga’s finale because Hold My Hand is such a beautiful piece and is very meaningful to me.”
“I accidentally videotaped this incident and at first we didn’t know who threw it or even what the object was, probably because Gaga is a consummate professional and didn’t do anything wrong.”
SEX TOYS
lil nas
The 24-year-old singer went to the item, picked it up and examined what appeared to be a sex toy.
He then asked the crowd, “Who threw their pussy on stage?”
After the short break, the Grammy winner continued the concert, seemingly unimpressed.
For decades, fans have been throwing underwear on stage at concerts, but in recent months the trend has taken a more bizarre direction.
LEMONS
Impact: Ariana Grande was pelted with a slice of lemon while she was headlining the Coachella Festival in Indio in April 2019
Ariana Grande was pelted with a slice of lemon during her headlining performance at the Coachella Festival in Indio in April 2019.
In a video captured by a fan, the star was hit in the chest by the fruit as she walked onto the main stage in a wine-colored Michael Ngo outfit to perform her song “NASA.”
Stunned, the Thank U, Next singer ran off the stage and yelled, “What the hell? That’s because one of you guys threw a lemon at me!’ S***.’
Ariana later returned to the stage and continued her concert as usual, proving that she was always the pros.
