Kelsea Ballerini hit in the face during concert

Country star Kelsea Ballerini was hit in the face with a bracelet thrown from the audience while she was performing in Boise, Idaho, earlier this week.

The country star addressed the incident on Instagram, saying she was more scared than hurt and she walked off stage to "calm down."

Ballerini is one of several artists who have had incidents onstage in recent weeks.

On Saturday, Pink was stunned to see a fan throw their mother's ashes at her during her show in London’s Hyde Park.

Pop stars Bebe Rexha and Ava Max were also injured by fans at their concerts in recent weeks.
