Nick Jonas Shuts Down Jonas Brothers Concert After Laser Pointer Targets Him on Stage

A Jonas Brothers concert in Prague was briefly interrupted on Tuesday night after Nick Jonas was targeted by a laser pointer, causing him to run off stage. The incident, which took place at the O2 Arena, was captured in footage that circulated on social media, showing Nick signaling a “time out” before leaving the stage.

A representative from the venue confirmed that the show had to be paused for several minutes due to the use of the prohibited device. “The organizing service responded to this fact. After a few minutes, the band continued their performance,” the spokesperson told Variety. Representatives for the Jonas Brothers have yet to comment on the situation.

Stage safety has been a growing concern for performers in recent years as incidents involving disruptive fans have increased. Artists like Taylor Swift, Harry Styles, and Adele have addressed this issue after facing similar problems during live performances. Swift, in particular, experienced heightened security concerns after her Vienna shows were canceled due to a terror threat.

The Jonas Brothers’ concert resumed without further issues, but the incident underscores the increasing risks performers face from audience behavior.
