Commending love and support, the singer penned a detailed note and clarified that he was not injured.

The singer added that this wasn’t the first time he had experienced such incidents at an event he was performing at. He called it disgusting and unacceptable, saying he is not sure why this keeps occurring but it needs to stop.
How can I perform when this happens? He asked urging everyone to be mindful of each other and treat everyone with respect.
