Days after NY fan assault, Bebe Rexha will be performing at the Fillmore tonight
The singer, who was struck by a fan's cell phone on stage, suffered facial injuries and needed stitches.
Just two days after a fan chucked a cell phone at her during a New York City concert, singer and songwriter Bebe Rexha will be performing at The Fillmore Tuesday night.
The “In the Name of Love” artist was allegedly assaulted by a member of the audience, as she was wrapping up her show at Lower Manhattan’s Rooftop at Pier 17 last Sunday. The alleged phone-pelter, Nicolas Malvagna, 27, has been charged with harassment and assault. “I was trying to see if I could hit her with the phone at the end of the show because it would be funny,” Malvagna said, according to a criminal complaint.
Rexha suffered several facial injuries, which required three stitches, according to TMZ. Despite the attack, the Grammy-nominated singer confirmed in an Instagram post that she will make her Philly concert stop. “The Tour must go on!!! Philly next!,” her post read.
The Warner Records signee, who has written songs for Nick Jonas, Selena Gomez, Shinee and others, enjoys a massive TikTok following, with over 8.3 million followers.
Rexha took to TikTok on Monday to share a video of her taking off her dark glasses to reveal a black eye and a bandaged brow. “I’m good, yeah, I’m feelin’ alright,” she sang from “I’m Good (Blue),” her song with David Guetta. “Im okay you guys,” she assured her fans.
Rexha will perform at The Fillmore as part of her Best F’n Night Of My Life Tour, which kicked off in Phoenix on May 31. The North American tour will wrap up at The Wiltern in Los Angeles on July 1. For tickets and tour info, go to livenation.com.
