Zach Bryan enforces an unwavering rule at his concerts with a clear, resounding declaration: "Keep your projections off the stage!" Recently, vivid footage from the Tacoma Dome performance of the soulful crooner behind "I Remember Everything," who hails from Washington, surfaced online. This clip captured an electrifying moment where a fan's recording revealed the 28-year-old artist abruptly halting his mesmerizing performance to confront a disruptive concertgoer.
Bryan was jamming on stage with another guitarist, when suddenly, an unidentified object soared through the air, striking his guest musician on the leg. Upon retrieving the projectile, the country crooner cast a fierce gaze in the direction of its origin as he approached the microphone to issue a statement. "Who let fly with this? Any witnesses?" Bryan inquired, brandishing the object. "Does anybody here know what's going on?"

Repeatedly seeking answers to no avail, Bryan paused momentarily, hoping someone would confess or point out the culprit. Finding no takers, he issued a stern admonition instead. "Let's keep our concerts free of flying debris, shall we?" he declared. "And if you folks know who did it, you've gotta escort them outta here. If we ever pinpoint the perpetrator," he continued before diving back into his set.
While the motive behind the fan's projectile launch remains uncertain, Bryan has recently faced a wave of criticism stemming from his breakup with ex-girlfriend Brianna "Chickenfry" LaPaglia. Following the singer's October 22nd announcement of their split, the 25-year-old influencer claimed in a November 7th episode of her BFFs Podcast, cohosted with Dave Portnoy and Josh Richards, that Bryan had abused her during their relationship.
"The past year of my life has been incredibly challenging, grappling with abuse from this individual," she revealed. "I'm still trembling in fear of him," LaPaglia continued. "My mindset has been completely altered, and I'm terrified of provoking him. Last week, I hesitated to discuss it because I was terrified."

A week later, Bryan remained silent in response to her public accusations, prompting LaPaglia to describe his lack of commentary on her abuse allegations as "deafeningly silent" in a subsequent podcast episode. Later in the conversation, she added, "I think he's not responding because if he does, he'll have to deny it. And if he denies it, I'll have my full story ready—videos and recordings to back it up."
