“Wait a second—am I bleeding? Can you all see how tough I am?”
Riley Green was injured and needed medical attention after a fan threw a phone at him during a recent concert in Australia.
A video shared on social media over the weekend shows the moment the incident happened while Green was performing at Margaret Court Arena in Melbourne. The clip captures a cell phone flying from the crowd and hitting the singer on the side of his head.
Visibly shocked, the “Change My Mind” artist paused his performance. As the audience booed the person responsible, Green requested that the house lights be turned on so security could escort the individual out.
“This one right here? Get him out of here. Go on,” Green shouted.
Blood ran down the side of his face as he thanked fans for attending and made light of the situation with some humor.
“I want to take a moment to thank each and every one of you for coming tonight,” the Alabama native said. “Wait—am I bleeding? See how tough I am? Thank goodness it wasn’t an iPhone 12—that would have hurt a lot more.”
After the show, Green sought medical care and received several stitches in his ear. He later shared on Instagram Stories, “5 stitches later… sewed up,” along with a photo of the injury.
Sadly, incidents of fans throwing objects at performers have been on the rise. In 2024, Megan Moroney had a hat thrown at her mid-performance, and Kelsea Ballerini was hit in the eye by a beaded bracelet during a show, causing her to pause while her team checked on her before continuing.
