Bring Me The Horizon frontman Oli Sykes was left dismayed onstage on Monday night (11.05.25) after a fan hurled a phone at him mid-performance.
The band were only a few songs into their set at the Enterprise Center in St. Louis, Missouri when the incident unfolded during their 2015 hit Happy Song.
He had been hyping up the crowd, before the flying device smacked into him out of nowhere.
Footage from the gig shows the singer recoiling in shock before snapping at the audience and demanding to know “who the f*** threw that?”
He then lobbed the offending phone offstage – seemingly toward security – and tried to regain his composure as the band powered on.
The incident adds to a growing trend of performers being struck by objects mid-show, with artists across genres calling for fans to stop treating concerts like target practice.
Just last week, Eric Clapton cut his Madrid concert short after being hit by a flying object.
Shortly after the 81-year-old guitar god performed Cocaine at the Movistar Arena on May 7, a fan site claims an “audience member threw a record at Eric near the end of the show, striking him in the chest.”
Clapton was said to be fine after the incident.
Clips circulating online show what looks like a vinyl sleeve hit him in the chest as he walks off the stage.
Clapton then left without performing his encore.
Last year, Fred Durst had to swat down a drone during Limp Bizkit’s show in Istanbul.
The nu-metal legends were ironically performing Take A Look Around when the device was spotted hovering above the frontman at their concert at Atakoy Marina in Turkey in August.
After the drone landed below the stage to screams and cheers from the audience, he instructed security: “Throw it out in the crowd.”
The band then added more humour to the situation by performing noughties classic Break Stuff.
Green Day also previously had to pause their Detroit concert after a drone appeared.
