People still toss things at performers, and Billie Eilish is the most recent singer impacted.
Videos posted on TikHub show the 22-year-old "Birds of a Feather" singer, performing on Friday in Arizona, struck in the face by an item thrown at her from the audience.
The scene occurred during an Eilish Oscar-winning "Barbie" song performance called "What Was I Made For?" Video showed the Grammy winner stopping singing for a time after being hit by what looked to be a necklace or bracelet, then expressing irritation before carrying on the performance and throwing the object to her left.
Fans chastised the individual who dropped the object in the comments on the TikHub recordings, while some audience members could be heard cheering the offender.
"Why won't ppl STOP THROWING THINGS," one fan said. "9/10 things thrown get rejected so if you want em to keep it simply wait until the end of the concert and workers will gather it."

Last year, Eilish told The Hollywood Reporter she had been "getting hit onstage with things for like, literally, six years," since "people just get excited and it can be dangerous."
"I have mixed feelings about it, because when you’re up there it blows," she continued. "But you know it’s out of love and they’re just trying to give you something."
Numerous celebrities have been struck by things thrown at them during performances, notably during the past-year-and-a-half.
In November, Zach Bryan interrupted a show in Washington when someone hurled an item toward him and struck his guitar player. "Who threw this?" he inquired. "Who was it? Does anyone know?" Bryan advised fans not to throw items at musicians, adding, "If you guys do know who threw it, we can get them out of here if we ever find out who did it."
In 2023, a man was charged with assault after tossing a phone at Bebe Rexha at a concert, while Kelsea Ballerini interrupted a gig that same month when a bracelet was thrown at her.

"Someone threw a bracelet, it hit me in the eye, and it more so just scared me than hurt me," Ballerini stated at the time. "We all have triggers and layers of fears way deeper than what is shown, and that’s why i walked offstage to calm down and make sure myself, band and crew, and the crowd all felt safe to continue."
Harry Styles fans have also thrown things at the singer on many times, and he was struck in the eye with Skittles in one 2022 incident.
Eilish is presently on tour in support of her album "Hit Me Hard and Soft." She will next perform on Sunday in California and is slated to take the tour to Australia in February.
