Recent examples of items thrown at performers on stage include bracelets, phones, and candy.
The newest critic of the practice is Adele, who joked with a Las Vegas audience that she would "kill" anyone who tried to throw something on stage.
People have forgotten "show etiquette," the musician said in a widely shared video in which she is holding a T-shirt gun and addressing the crowd.
She jokingly challenged him to throw something at her before shooting a T-shirt.
Although Adele is well-known for throwing shirts into the audience during her residency in Las Vegas, her remarks are in response to a number of instances in which fans have thrown objects onto the stage.

When a sex toy accidentally fell onto the stage while Lil Nas X was performing in Sweden on Saturday, he appeared amused.
In November, a sweet was thrown at Harry Styles during a concert, and more recently, Pink appeared uneasy when a bag of human ashes was thrown on stage.
