Morgan Wallen Hit by Cowboy Boot on Stage, Ernest Falls at Same Show – Update

Morgan Wallen is the latest star to get hit with an object, while performing a show.  He was in St. Louis, Thursday (July 6th).  And that’s not all that happened.  Ernest, who opened for him, had a throwing problem of another sort.

According to Taste of Country, Morgan was hanging with fans who wanted autographs, while he was performing in St. Louis, when, out of nowhere, someone in the crowd threw a glittery boot at the singer.

Morgan didn’t seem too bothered when he got “the boot.”  He kept his cool, continued to sign autographs, and when finished, he threw the boot in the other direction.

That part seems odd – though you can understand his situation – because the boot could have hurt someone when it landed, the second time, just like it hit him, the first time.

A few months ago, it was another physical threat:  Wallen was knocked down with a beer; in response, he completely ejected the offender.  Shania Twain (who recently fell at her Chicago performance – it happens more than we realize) has eliminated sales of canned beverages at her shows.  They must be poured into plastic cups.

This growing trend of fans thinking it’s ok to throw anything at a performer is alarming to the folks up on stage.  Some stars have gotten hurt, recently, by thrown items.  One odd fan even threw their mother’s ashes up on stage.

Is this the new way of stunting, for social media, to get “hits“?  [Ironic.]  If so, it’s completely inconsiderate of the safety of everyone around.

AND:

At the SAME SHOW, Wallen’s opener, Ernest, fell off the stage.

Video posted to Instagram shows the singer throwing a rose into the crowd with too much force, then taking a tumble, right off the end of the stage.

He popped right back up, to cheers from the audience, prompting Wallen to comment, “Stuck the landing.”

What would you have done if someone threw something at you while you were performing?
