Morgan Wallen performed at the Mile High Stadium in Denver, Colorado, on July 3, 2024. During the performance, a phone thrown by a fan hit the singer and he responded by throwing the phone offstage. The video of the incident has since then gone viral:
The footage shows the singer singing his song Cowgirls when someone at the front of the crowd hurls their phone at his feet. The singer picks it up and tosses it aside to his right, before moving away from the spot, all the while continuing to sing.
This incident at the Denver concert is the latest in a long line of similar incidents of fans throwing objects at the singer, with previous instances including throwing drinks and women's underwear, among other things.
