The Maine singer stops mid-song, tells crowd to put their phones away—watch

June 24, 2016

During his band's set at Warped Tour, the Maine frontman John O'Callaghan stopped mid-song to ask fans to be in the moment and put their phones away.

While said in a slightly humourous way (“put your computer in your pocket please”), O'Callaghan's words definitely make a statement. Check out the full clip from Yahoo! below.

“All the people with their phones out, put them in your purses, put them in your fucking pockets for just two minutes and 46 seconds,” O'Callaghan said during “Growing Up.” “Be here right-fucking-now with us. Not on your fucking computer—put your computer in your pocket please. This is a goddamn event. We're all here, socializing. We're not on fucking snapchat—they can watch if they want to come fucking watch it.”

“My friends, forget about everything,” he says, right before resuming the song.
