Fan rushes The Weeknd on stage in Australia

[waffletaco]

Last night, The Weeknd finally brought the next leg of his AFTER HOURS TIL DAWN Stadium Tour to Melbourne, Australia.

During the performance of "Out Of Time", a fan managed to bypass the railing and security to get on stage and charge towards Abel for a hug.

It’s crazy how calm and friendly Abel stays while he got jumped by a fan pic.twitter.com/

This continued trend of fans jumping on the stage without consent is VERY concerning and terrifying.

Honestly if I was a celeb and a rando jumped up on stage at me I’d assume the worst and break their damn nose. I’d be a PR nightmare lmao

Can’t blame Abel or any artist for being on the defense cause I immediately think of Christina Grimmie.

It's wild to me that Christina losing her life did not tighten security or procedures around concerts.

This happened when I went to a Big Bang concert about 8 years ago. A guy ran up on the stage and got really close to Seungri, like right up next to him

At the time I was worried for Seungri's safety, but now I wish the dude had shoved the fucker off the stage. Fuck you Seungri you evil piece of shit!

So many missed opportunities with him. I remember the fireworks incident on stage. *SIGH*

truly resenting this post for reminding me of my VIP days u g h the cringe

That is terrifying and I feel for Abel in that situation. Security really needs to be on top of this.
