Fan throws mother's ashes on stage at Pink's concert
Pink's concert took an unexpected turn when a fan threw a bag of their mother's ashes onto the stage.
The American singer was in the middle of a song during Hyde Park’s British Summer Time festival when she noticed a plastic bag on the stage.
In the video shared by a concertgoer, Pink was seen bending down to reach for it and paused for a while when she realized its contents.
Perplexed, Pink asked someone from the crowd: "Wait, this is your mom?"
She added: "I don't know how I feel about this," before taking the bag beside the speaker.
Pink resumed singing the song, but it was clear that she was still shaken by what had happened.

Many netizens felt that the fan's actions were inappropriate, and they called for more respect for artists and their personal space.
"I don’t know who threw their moms ashes at @Pink but in what world is that okay? Make it make sense," wrote one.
"A pink fan gives pink her mother's ashes I take it in a sign of respect that the woman's mother was a massive pink fan still there are some very stupid people who wish to get 15 seconds of fame and they do but all for the wrong reasons," said another one.
The video uploader wrote, "Someone gave their Mothers ashes to Pink. I need yall to have boundaries like girl what?!"
A similar incident happened a few weeks ago to another artist. Singer Bebe Rexha was rushed off the stage after being struck on the head by a fan's phone.
The suspect confessed to throwing the phone and was charged with assault.
