Zach Bryan Stops Concert After Fan Throws Zyn Can Onto Stage: “Let’s Not Be D**ks, Huh?”
How dare someone weaponize a Zyn can like that.
Zach Bryan is the latest victim of having concert goers throw objects at him, and he's simply not having it. The concert-hurling epidemic (fans throwing stuff at artists) has become an increasingly concerning problem in the last couple of years. This past summer, Morgan Waylon Wallen had a phone chucked at him while he was performing in Colorado.
Oops... did I really just include Morgan Wallen in a Zach Bryan story? I can't imagine why that would be a problem - or be topical - in the modern day.
Anyways, it's a shame to see the hero-turned-villain origin story of Zyn cans at Zach Bryan shows. What do I mean by that? Well not too long ago, this video of a fan trying to get the country music star to take one of his Zyns went viral:

Very nice of Bryan to make that fan's dream come true.
And now, the same can (well not the exact same one, but you get my point) that once gifted Bryan is now acting as a disruptor of his concert. Like the old saying goes.... the Zyn can giveth, and the Zyn can taketh away.
While Bryan was playing Wednesday night (Thanksgiving Eve if you will) in Portland, Oregon at the Moda Center, an unruly fan tossed a Zyn can onto the stage and hit the country singer in the leg. Zach brought his performance of "Tourniquet" to a halt and immediately asked the crowd who was responsible:
"Who threw it? Let's not be d*cks, huh? Throw stuff at concerts?"
Bryan was fed up with whoever threw it, as you'll be able to tell in the fan-filmed video below:

Yeah Zach Bryan isn't messing around about that - though it does appear that he was able to quickly get back into his performance. Props to him for being a showman.
Why did Bryan seem so upset that the Zyn can came flying up on stage? Well it could have to do with the fact that this incident played out only days after Bryan stopped one of his concerts in Washington after an object was thrown on stage, striking Zach's guitarist. He stopped that show dead in its tracks too, and told the audience not to "throw sh*t" and threatened to have whoever was responsible thrown out of the concert.
Seems like a pretty fair eye-for-an-eye retaliation... you throw something, you get thrown out.
