During a Jonas Brothers concert in Prague, Nick Jonas abruptly ran off stage after a laser pointer was directed at him, briefly halting the performance. The incident, which occurred at the O2 Arena on October 15, left fans concerned after footage surfaced online showing Nick signaling for a "time out" before sprinting off stage. His brothers, Joe and Kevin Jonas, quickly followed.
An Instagram fan account, JonasDailyNews_, shared a video of the event, confirming that the individual responsible for the laser was identified and removed from the venue. According to a spokesperson for the O2 Arena, "The Jonas Brothers' performance had to be interrupted for several minutes due to the use of a prohibited laser pointer," but the band resumed their show shortly after the issue was addressed.
This incident sparked discussion on social media, with fans praising Nick's swift reaction. "Nick looked so panicked. Glad it was nothing, but his reaction was 100% the right one if a laser is pointed at you," one Reddit user commented. Others criticized the behavior, calling it "disrespectful and immature."
The rise in security concerns at concerts has been a growing issue, with several high-profile incidents highlighting the risks performers face on stage. Just two months prior, Taylor Swift canceled her Vienna shows due to a confirmed terror threat. She later reflected on the decision, saying, "The reason for the cancellations filled me with a new sense of fear, but I was also so grateful to the authorities because thanks to them, we were grieving concerts and not lives."
As for the Jonas Brothers, their European leg of the "Five Albums, One Night" tour is nearing its end, with their next performance scheduled for Krakow, Poland. The band has yet to publicly comment on the Prague incident.
