Nick Jonas was forced to exit the stage mid-performance at Prague's O2 Arena on October 15 after someone in the crowd used a laser pointer during the show. The incident happened while performing on the secondary stage, with footage showing Jonas making a 'time-out' gesture before quickly leaving the stage.

An O2 Arena spokesperson confirmed the interruption, stating security immediately addressed the situation. The show resumed after several minutes once the threat was resolved.

This incident adds to a growing list of concerning audience behavior at concerts in 2023:

• Harry Styles, Bebe Rexha, and Kelsea Ballerini have been hit by objects thrown from crowds
• Green Day was evacuated due to an unauthorized drone during their Detroit show
• Taylor Swift's Vienna concerts faced terrorist threats, leading to increased security measures across European venues

Adele recently addressed the issue of poor audience etiquette during her show, strongly warning fans against throwing items on stage. The incident occurred during the Jonas Brothers' rescheduled European tour dates, with their final show taking place at Krakow's Tauron Arena.

While laser pointers might seem harmless, they pose serious risks to performers' vision and safety, particularly concerning given the recent rise in aggressive audience behavior at live shows.
