Luke Bryan keeps singing after being hit by object on stage: See video
Luke Bryan appeared to have been struck in the face by an object during the final moments of his performance at the North Dakota State Fair on July 26. The country music star, 49, was singing "Country Girl" during the state fair in Minot when he was hit in the face by a small round object. Footage recorded by a fan shows Bryan stagger as he is momentarily shocked after being hit by the object. However, he maintained composure, only taking a brief moment to gather himself before finishing the song. Bryan did not address the incident on stage or on social media. USA TODAY has reached out to Bryan's representatives for more information on the incident, but has not heard back. Watch: Fan captures moment Luke Bryan is struck by object Bryan had previously canceled several shows in June due to "continued illness," revealing at his South Carolina concert on July 17 that he had been battling COVID-19, Today reported. Need a break? Play the USA TODAY Daily Crossword Puzzle. No investigation happening: Report The North Dakota State Fair management and the Ward County Sheriff's Office also did not immediately respond to USA TODAY's request for more information on the incident. Capt. Jason Kraft with the sheriff's office, however, told local media outlet KMOT-TV the person who threw the object at Bryan has not yet been identified and that there is no ongoing investigation into the incident because no complaint has been filed. The North Dakota State Fair, held annually in Minot, is "a cherished tradition" and was celebrating its 60th year. The fair, held July 18-26, included a range of activities, exhibits, and entertainment, with this year's edition welcoming more than 350,000 attendees, the most ever in the fair's history. Other performers have had objects thrown at them on stage The country star was just the latest in a long list of musicians who have had things thrown at them during live performances. In November 2024, singer Zach Bryan stopped a show in Washington after someone in the audience tossed an object toward him. A guitar player Bryan was performing with was hit by the object, prompting Bryan to stop his performance and scold the person responsible. "Who threw this?" Bryan had asked, holding the object. "Who was it? Does anyone know? Who was it?" As people in the audience appeared to try to identify the perpetrator, Bryan asked, "Who are we pointing at?" He then told fans not to throw things during concerts, prompting cheers. In 2023, a man was charged with assault after throwing a phone at Bebe Rexha during a show in New York. The pop star was taken to the hospital and later shared a selfie where she had a black eye. Not long after, Kelsea Ballerini temporarily stopped a performance after she was hit by a bracelet that was thrown at her. In another incident from June 2023, a fan threw a bag of ashes at Pink. "This is your mom?" the singer asked as she picked up the bag. "I don't know how I feel about this." A fan also threw a drink at Cardi B while she was on stage, leading the singer to fight back by throwing her microphone at them. Other artists who have had objects thrown at them include Lady Gaga, Drake and Lil Nas X. Adele, during her Las Vegas residency in July 2023, said that people were "forgetting" show etiquette and joked that if anyone tries throwing an object at her, she'll "kill you!"
