The trend of fans throwing objects at performers has become increasingly common — and artists are showing less patience for it.

Slowhand wasn’t quick enough to catch it.
When he was spouting his anti social distancing nonsense during Covid I wondered why we kept forgiving Clapton. From his vile racist rant bad enough that Rock Against Racism was the backlash to celebrating his own boorishness in Wonderful Tonight (actually listen to it sometime) and much more besides he has always been a horrible person. No more.
I heard it was a sheet filled with tips how to close a hotel windows properly
Dont throw shit at the musicians on stage. Stupid ass fans.
