Peter Frampton tour became controversial after the "Do You Feel Like We Do" singer berated two fans during his concert in Carmel, Indiana. Apparently, these two members of the audience threw one of their cellphones into the stage during his set. This angered Peter Frampton tour and scolded his fans about the right way to behave during concerts.
Melissa Schickel was right in the audience when this incident happened, and she rehashed the events for OnStage magazine. According to her statements, the concert was very smooth and enjoyable when two fans arrived a bit late and sat in the venue's front row. Since they were late, the couple missed the concert instructions to avoid taking pictures with flash during Peter Frampton tour performance.
Schickel said that Peter Frampton tour gestured to the couple to stop snapping taking pictures of him with flash repeatedly. However, these two fans were relentless. Plus, Schickel also claimed that the couple were drinking and were starting to act belligerently, insulting Peter Frampton tour and some other members of the audience.
After singing a few songs, Peter Frampton tour had enough of the couple's belligerent acts and was very upset. Schickel wrote, "I have never seen an artist so upset before. Peter ends the song, walks over, and with a huge smile on his face, bends down and says, 'Hey, can I see that? Can I see the photos you've been taking?' The guy hands him the phone and Peter stands up, spins, and flings for the rafters!"
Schickel then said that the aggravated Peter Frampton tour audience quickly erupted to cheers. She then added, "With years of experience playing guitar, we just knew he had a great arm."
Peter Frampton tour addressed this incident on his personal Facebook page and provided a link to a review about the events that took place during his set. He wrote, "For those of you form the Carmel, IN show who are still scratching your heads as to why I would relieve someone, in the front row, of their phone/camera, please read the review below. Many thanks to the eyewitnesses who came forward to explain how annoying "Team Distraction" actually were. And not just me, but everyone arm round them."
