Is Patti LaBelle OK? Fans concerned as singer, 78, is taken offstage after 'bomb threat' at Milwaukee concert
MILWAUKEE, WISCONSIN: Patti LaBelle was escorted out of the venue by security guards during her concert Friday, December 9, at the Riverside Theater in Milwaukee. The reason was a bomb threat received by the Milwaukee Police Department. The 78-year-old LaBelle was speaking to the audience when two security guards rushed to the stage and removed the singer from the stage. Before that, she can be seen saying to the security guards, "Wait, hold up!"
However, the video shared by a concertgoer shows one of the security guards whispering the theme to her, Daily Mail reports. In the shared video, the 78-year-old can be seen talking to a fan who hands her a bouquet of roses. At that point, two men in black suits entered the stage to remove the artist. After the security guard explained the situation to her, she dropped the bouquet and shakily tried to put her microphone back on the mic stand. Fans are now worried about the singer because the video was released.
