On the main stage of the New Year's party organized by the Grand Marché de Noël de Montréal in the Quartier des Spectacles, King Melrose was hit in the face with two cans of beer, he said on his Instagram account.
The Quebec artist provided an update on the unfortunate situation and stated that his performance was interrupted by the event's security forces.
“Sorry to everyone who was there, I had to stop the show. First of all, it wasn’t me who stopped it, it was security because it became dangerous,” says the singer-songwriter.
He is asking the city of Montreal to allocate more money to organize private events like New Year's Eve.
According to him, this money could have been used to hire more security personnel for the event.
“I came back on stage and was scared,” he says, adding that he is grateful to the team that supported him after the incident.
“I’m in shock.”
Singer King Melrose is not the first artist to fall victim to such an act.
In 2023, artists Bebe Rexha, Drake, Pink and Harry Styles had objects thrown in their faces on stage.
