Unruly Fan Crashes Bryan Adams Concert Mid-Song—And Adams Handles It Like A Pro

The singer was performing his hit song 'Summer of '69' when a fan came on stage and took over the mic before being hauled off by security—and Adams came back in like nothing had happened.

The summer of 2023 turned into an unforgettable experience for Bryan Adams and his fans during a Salt Lake City concert earlier this month. The Canadian rocker was performing his iconic hit "Summer of '69" when an unexpected and unruly fan decided to take center stage, literally.

As Adams passionately belted out the lyrics to "Summer of '69," the audacious concertgoer saw an opportunity and hopped on stage, seizing the microphone to showcase his vocal talents. Amidst the shock and surprise, Adams moved away from the microphone, allowing the intruder to momentarily take control.


With gusto and confidence, the impromptu stage crasher sang a few lines of the song, garnering both applause and bemusement from the crowd.

You can watch the moment in the video below.

Security personnel clad in red shirts quickly sprang into action, rushing onto the stage to apprehend the unexpected guest.

Within seconds, the man was escorted off-stage, bringing the unexpected interruption to an end. Undeterred by the surprising turn of events, Bryan Adams displayed his professionalism and showmanship, smoothly picking up where he left off and seamlessly hitting his cue for the iconic line, "Was the summer of '69."

Adams' lighthearted post about the incident—in which he told his followers that "Sometimes you just gotta laugh"—included video footage of the moment the man burst onto the stage.

The commentary was certainly interesting, albeit mixed.








Despite the interruption, Adams continued with his tour, and is currently performing alongside Joan Jett and the Blackhearts.

The show must go on, and he certainly proved his resilience and ability to entertain, even in the face of unexpected surprises.

As the tour moves forward, fans are eagerly anticipating Adams' upcoming concert in Phoenix next week, hoping for more memorable moments but perhaps without any uninvited guests taking over the stage.
