Zach Bryan finds himself continuing to dodge objects during live performances.
During a concert in Portland, Oregon on Wednesday, November 27, the "Something In The Orange" hitmaker called out his entire audience after being struck in the item thrown on stage.
In the middle of a performance of "Tourniquet" from his 2023 self-titled album, Bryan, 28, was hit in the leg with a mysterious object. Video footage obtained by TMZ doesn't clearly show what the object is, however, it appears to be a can of Zyn nicotine. Bryan was not a fan of this move and brought the show to a halt.
The country singer then asked the audience who threw the object, and made a stark suggestion. "Let's not be d**ks, huh?" Bryan said.
This incident comes just after a similar one took place during a performance at the Tacoma Dome in Washington on November 22. Though Bryan dodged the object, it appeared to hit his guitarist. Afterward, he told the crowd "Don't throw s**t at concerts."
But evidently, fans did not get the message.
The two incidents come amid a widely publicized break-up between him and Barstool personality Brianna "Chickenfry" LaPaglia. The two broke up last month after just over a year of dating. After the news broke, LaPaglia accused the singer of infidelity as well as verbal and emotional abuse, and claimed he offered her $12 million to sign a non-disclosure agreement to keep quiet about the alleged abuse.
Bryan himself has not spoken about the relationship since breaking the news via Instagram Story that the couple broke up in October.
