Chris Brown has been in the limelight on many occasions and not just for his musical talent. The singer has courted many controversies throughout his career, including receiving a 5 year probation for physically assaulting his then-girlfriend Rihanna, which made huge headlines across the world.
It now seems like his onstage performances too have been marred by a lot of technical issues of late. The singer who is currently on a tour across the country, has been subjected to malfunctions on stage not once, but twice in a week, causing him to walk out mid-way through his concert. Fans have taken to social media to comment on his predicament.
This Grammy Winner Is Unable To Escape His Stage Woes
Chris Brown is currently regaling fans across North America with his 11:11 tour which is hitting the length and breadth of the country. The popular R&B singer has a solid fan base thanks to his talent despite being a controversial figure outside of music. But from how his current tour is unfolding, it looks like the Sensational singer is being made to sweat a bit on stage.
Not once but twice in the tour, Brown has been a victim of stage malfunction that has left him stranded during his performances. The first incident occurred on the 12th of June during the New Jersey leg when the Under the Influence crooner was suspended mid-air as part of an ariel stunt and couldn’t get back down (via That grape Juice). This led to him awkwardly having to jump back down on stage.
While one would assume that this was a one-off incident, as luck would have it, the Grammy winner was subjected to another faux pas while performing in the following week (via Pop Base). While the singer was dancing and singing to New Flame, the boxed stage below him suddenly descended a level lower. Looking completely perplexed, he immediately walked off as the lights dimmed.
With many fans still waiting to see the artist perform his famous numbers live, it now remains to be seen how quickly these technical glitches are fixed as the concert moves on to the remaining cities.
Netizens React To Chris Brown’s Concert Glitches
Chris Brown’s extensive North American concert tour doesn’t seem to be going to plan. Having had his performances interrupted by technical flaws on two occasions, fans are now assessing the singer’s current run of bad luck on stage. Many netizens took to social media to express their opinions on the incidents.
While some viewers sympathized with Brown for being the victim twice over and demanded better concert facilities for him, a few others found these incidents to be very funny. Others speculated on a potential firing of personnel who were responsible for these errors that occurred on stage.
Given Brown’s behavioral history which saw him having backstage meltdowns, being pulled up for bar brawls, and his infamous felony charge and subsequent 5 year probation for assaulting his then-girlfriend Rihanna (via People), a cross-section of fans were rather brutal in their assessment of his current situation.
