24 awesome cases of musicians calling out security, fans and even each other onstage

Every musician will have to deal with a heckler at some point in their career. Most artists will have some sort of altercation with security. And some will get into spats with other musicians, to the point of warranting a glorious onstage call-out. Whatever the cause, you know you’re in for a wild night when the singer says, “Hold up, cut the music!
