Singer Mon Laferte Struck in Face by Phone Thrown During Las Vegas Show
Chilean singer Mon Laferte was struck in the face by a phone thrown from the audience during her Las Vegas concert, prompting calls to end the dangerous concert trend.
A dangerous trend at live concerts reared its head once again when Chilean singer-songwriter Mon Laferte was struck in the face by a mobile phone thrown from the audience during her performance in Las Vegas.
The incident occurred as Laferte was performing her hit song 'Amárrame' as part of her international 'Femme Fatale Tour'. Stunned by the impact, the artist immediately stepped back to the rear of the stage while her backup dancers maintained the performance. Outraged audience members showered the culprit with boos, prompting security personnel to intervene and escort the disruptive concertgoer out of the venue.
Following the brief interruption, Laferte returned to the stage to finish the show. She later took to the social media platform X to reassure her fans, writing that she was doing fine and noting that she believed the thrower had no malicious intent. However, she firmly urged fans to stop throwing objects at performers entirely, confirming that the incident will not disrupt the remainder of her United States tour.
Born in Chile and based in Mexico, Mon Laferte stands as one of the most prominent figures in contemporary Latin music. Her eclectic style blends pop, alternative music, bolero, and traditional Latin rhythms, earning her five Latin Grammy Awards—more than any other Chilean artist in history. In 2025, Billboard magazine also recognized her among the greatest Latin pop singers of all time.
