Drake becomes latest target in worrying trend as phone is thrown at singer on stage

Drake is the latest celebrity victim to have had something thrown at him while performing on stage.

Over the course of the last few weeks, singer Bebe Rexha required stitches after getting hit in the face by a phone while on stage, while Ava Max was slapped by a "fan", and country super Kelsea Ballerini also had something thrown at the mid-concert.

And during the opening night of Drake's It's All a Blur tour in Chicago on Wednesday, he was taken by surprise as a fan threw their phone at him.

The Canadian rapper was performing his own rendition of Ginuwine's song "So Anxious" when the incident took place.

Caught on video by another concertgoer, Drake was seen looking at the phone land on the floor after hitting him.

While he was momentarily caught off guard, he did not let the fan's shocking behaviour get in his way as he continued his performance.

This comes after a whole slew of female musicians in America were attacked by concertgoers last month who decided to assault them in unprovoked circumstances physically.

The first singer to endure a scary incident was Bebe, who was hit in the face with a phone after a "fan" lobbed it at her, leaving the singer with a nasty black eye and even needing stitches.

Next was Ava Max, who was slapped by a "fan" who got on stage and even scratched the inside of her eye. Then, while P!NK was performing in Hyde Park, London, somebody threw a bag of their mum's ashes on-stage in a bizarre incident.

And more recently, Kelsea Ballerini was struck in the face with a bracelet that was thrown on-stage during her HEARTFIRST Tour in the US.

Meanwhile, 33 year old Bebe has been taking no risks since sustaining a nasty black eye from the phone thrown on-stage in New York in June, with the starlet donning some protective glasses at her latest gig. Looking effortlessly cool in the pair of glasses, which were rimless and covered her eye area entirely, Bebe performed for her fans at Los Angeles' The Wiltern.

According to concertgoers, Bebe issued two rules for the night, with them being that they shouldn't throw things and they should have fun.
