Nick Jonas was forced to flee the stage during a performance at Prague's O2 Arena on October 15 after an audience member pointed a laser at him. The incident resulted in a brief interruption of the Jonas Brothers' concert.

An O2 Arena spokesperson confirmed the incident, stating security immediately addressed the situation with the individual using the prohibited laser pointer. The performance resumed after several minutes.

This incident joins a growing list of safety concerns at live performances in 2023:

• Green Day evacuated stage due to unauthorized drone activity in Detroit
• Taylor Swift's Vienna concerts faced terrorist threats, leading to increased security measures
• Multiple artists including Harry Styles, Bebe Rexha, and Kelsea Ballerini experienced objects thrown at them while performing

Laser pointers pose a serious safety risk to performers, potentially causing temporary blindness or permanent eye damage. The incident occurred during the Jonas Brothers' rescheduled European tour dates, with their final show taking place at Krakow's Tauron Arena.

The music industry has seen increased focus on concert safety, with artists like Adele publicly addressing audience behavior and proper show etiquette.
