He was spotted crouching to the ground as he walked off stage after a fan pelted him in the eye with a flying object. As per reports, the 29-year-old singer was struck with a bouquet of roses and quickly placed his hand over his face after the concertgoer’s attempt.

Following an increase in such incidents, Adele took some time out of her ‘Weekends with Adele’ show at The Colosseum in Las Vegas to address the safety concerns at concerts.
