Lil Nas X has become the latest celebrity to be bombarded with inappropriate items thrown on stage during a large performance.

One week after he wowed huge crowds performing before Elton John at Glastonbury, the “Montero (Call Me By Your Name)” musician was on stage in Stockholm when a fan threw a sex toy his way.

In recent weeks, other performers have had similar incidents – some of which have turned violent – during live gigs.

In June, Bebe Rexha needed stitches in her face after being hit in the face by a flying phone, while Ava Max said she scratched the inside of her eye when someone jumped onto the stage and slapped her days later.

Other artists were quick to condemn the string of attacks, including Charlie Puth and Adele.

Puth tweeted: “This trend of throwing things at performers while they are on stage must come to an end. (Bebe, Ava, AND NOW Kelsea Ballerini…) It’s so disrespectful and very dangerous. Please just enjoy the music I beg of you…”

During her Weekends with Adele Las Vegas residency on Saturday (1 July), the “Hello” singer said that audiences had forgotten “show etiquette” as she jokingly “dared” fans to throw items at her.

“Have you noticed how people are forgetting f***ing show etiquette at the moment and just throwing s*** on stage?” Adele asked.

“Have you seen that? I f***ing dare you, I dare you throw something at me, I’ll f***ing kill you.”

Singer Rexha had been performing in New York as part of her Best F’n Night of My Life tour on 17 June when a phone flew through the air and into her face.

In a video shot by another audience member and circulating on social media, Rexha could be seen falling to her knees at the impact.
