During his performance at the Lollapalooza event, American rapper and singer Lil Durk were blasted in the face with smoke. A smoke cannon went off and smacked Lil Durk in the face as he was performing on stage. As the music stopped, he sought to hide his face with his T-shirt.
A DJ on the microphone addressed the smoke, saying:
“Woah, Woah, you okay, bro?” “It flew straight up.”
Durk reacted after taking a few seconds to acclimate to his temporary blindness.
“F*ck it, no more smoke, let’s get this done.”
Lil Durk, on the other hand, is taking a break to recuperate from what transpired on stage. The 29-year-old said in a social media post that he only continued to perform for his followers.
The singer captioned a picture of his bandaged eye:
“Due to the situation that occurred on stage at Lollapalooza in Chicago, I’m going to take a sabbatical and concentrate on my health,” I concluded my show for my fans yesterday. I appreciate you.”
Fans react as Lil Durk is hurt on stage due to smoke.
Fans have responded to the 3 Headed Goat vocalist being hurt by smoke cannons on stage at Lollapalooza and still performing. Some fans also praised the rapper for prioritizing his followers above his health and finishing his performance. Metallica, Dua Lipa, J.Cole, and Green Day were among the headliners at this year’s Lollapalooza. Machine Gun Kelly rocked the main stage alongside Dua Lipa on Saturday. Meanwhile, the event has confirmed its India iteration for 2023, which will be held on January 28 and 29. The festival’s maiden edition in India will be accessible to over 60,000 attendees and will include four stages with over 20 hours of live music performed by some of the top stars in the world and locally.
