According to a spokesperson for the O2 Arena in Prague, where the concert took place, the show was paused for a few minutes due to the use of the prohibited laser pointer. “The organizing service responded to this,” the representative said, adding that the Jonas Brothers were able to resume their set shortly after.
Safety on stage has become an increasingly talked-about issue in recent years, as artists face not only objects being thrown at them but also unpredictable behavior from audiences. Major stars like Taylor Swift, Harry Styles, and Adele have all addressed similar concerns. Swift, in particular, recently reflected on the unsettling cancellation of her Vienna concerts due to a terror threat. In an Instagram post, she expressed her mixed emotions, feeling both relieved for the authorities’ quick action and guilt over the cancellations.
Despite the brief scare, the Jonas Brothers are continuing their European tour, with their final show set for Wednesday night in Krakow, Poland.
