On Tuesday, October 15, Nick Jonas was forced to leave the Jonas Brothers’ show in Prague due to a laser pointer attack.
The event occurred in the middle of the concert, bringing their “The World Tour” to an abrupt halt.
The video of Nick Jonas making a “time out” sign with his hands before leaving the stage rapidly went viral on social media. Fans in the crowd were perplexed when the band abruptly stopped performing.
According to a spokeswoman for the O2 Arena in Prague, where the event was held, the disruption was caused by a prohibited laser pointer being aimed at the musician.
In a statement, the O2 Arena confirmed: “We can confirm that the Jonas Brothers’ performance had to be interrupted for many minutes due to the person using a forbidden laser pointer.
“The organising service responded to this fact. After a few minutes, the band continued their performance.”

This is not the first time an artist has experienced such disturbances during a live concert. Previously, Justin Bieber had to interrupt a show due to laser pointers being pointed at him.
In another incident, a laser pointer was directed toward Harry Styles during a One Direction concert, raising concerns about his safety.
These incidents illustrate the need for stringent security measures to protect performers from potential hazards during live performances.
Despite the disturbance, the Jonas Brothers were able to resume their Prague concert shortly thereafter, allowing their fans to enjoy the remainder of the evening. However, it serves as a reminder of the safety considerations that performers face on stage.
