It's March 16th. Here's what's happening in entertainment.
Country singer Riley Green got hit in the ear by a phone thrown from the crowd during his concert Saturday night at Margaret Corderina in Melbourne, Australia.
The 37-year-old needed five stitches for the injury, which caused blood to trickle down his neck.
Right after it happened, Green stayed calm, handed off his guitar, and asked security to remove the fan responsible.
He turned on the lights, checked his wound, and even laughed about it while thanking the audience.
Fans washed as he powered through the rest of the show, joking that they could use their phone flashlights but not throw the devices.
He wrapped up with a big performance of one of his hits alongside his band.
On Sunday, Green shared a photo of his stitched-up ear on Instagram stories, simply noting he was sewed up and recovering.
His team has not commented further yet.
This comes amid a string of similar incidents with artists like Bebe Rexa and Zach Bryan getting hurt by thrown objects at shows.
Green has more dates lined up this week in Sydney and then heads back to North America next month on his tour.
