Singer,Patti LaBelle was immediately ushered offstage as authorities abruptly evacuated the venue due to a bomb threat.

Shortly after the altercation on Saturday night, video of the 78-year-old singer’s abrupt exit from the Riverside Theater stage began to circulate on social media.

Following the evacuation of the theater due to the bomb threat ,the singer was just a few songs into the Christmas concert in Milwaukee. 

Patti said; “Hold on!” Wait!” Before being swiftly escorted off the stage and removed from behind the microphone. Members of the crowd can be heard asking what has happened as the lights go dim on stage.

The 2,500-seat theater was quickly cleared out following that.

The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel was informed by concertgoer Catherine Brunson, who recorded the evacuation on Facebook Live, that it took place two songs into LaBelle’s performance just before 9.30 p.m.

“We came out and police had the block taped off … A whole lot of people were pretty upset … It’s scary,” Brunson said.

Everyone left the theater calmly, according to Scott Pierce, who was also at the event, but it’s  “just sad that someone does this”.

On Sunday morning,according to Milwaukee police captain Warren Allen Jr., K9 units investigated the theater early on Sunday morning but found no explosives, and there was no danger to the general public.

He noted that the probe into what had occurred is “fluid and ongoing.”

The R&B Legend,LaBelle, has not yet made a public statement regarding the incident.

Pabst Theater Group, which runs the Riverside Theater, promised to work with LaBelle to reschedule the performance.

I hope LaBelle and her fans are okay. Please stay safe people.

Love to hear from you
