During his concert at Margaret Court Arena, Riley Green stopped the show to have a disruptive fan removed.
Riley Green was left bleeding after a fan hurled a phone at him during a performance.
Footage shared on social media captured the moment at Margaret Court Arena, where the country star was unexpectedly struck in the ear by a phone thrown from the crowd.
Startled, Green paused the show and instructed his crew to turn on the house lights so they could locate the offender. With help from the audience, he identified the fan and had him removed from the venue.
“This one right here? Get his fat a– out of here. Go on,” Green said during the incident.
After the fan was escorted out, Green, unaware of the extent of his injury, thanked his fans for their support. “I’d like to take a moment while I’ve got everybody’s attention to thank each and every one of you for coming out tonight,” he said. “Hang on, am I bleeding? Y’all see how tough I am? Thank God he didn’t have an iPhone 12, that would have really hurt.”
Following the concert, Green updated fans on social media, sharing a photo of his injury and revealing he required five stitches.
Earlier this month, Green spoke with Fox News Digital about why he chooses to stay in Alabama rather than relocating to Nashville to further his career. He explained that his farm in Alabama provides inspiration for his music and allows him to enjoy a slower pace of life. “When I get a day off, and I’m on my farm, I do as little as possible,” Green said, adding that he still spends time on chores and enjoys working with his father, animals, and dogs.
In addition to music, Green is making his acting debut in the Luke Grimes-led Yellowstone spinoff, Marshals. Speaking about stepping onto the set for the first time, he admitted that the experience was far more nerve-wracking than performing on stage. “I don’t get nervous going on stage anymore. I’ve played enough shows now it kind of comes naturally, but this was a completely different world… I’m kind of the new guy in that bunch, so it was definitely nerve-wracking,” he said.
