The show must go on.
Bebe Rexha returned to the stage for the primary time since a fan hurled a cellphone at her face during a show in Latest York City and begged concertgoers to refrain from committing a copycat attack.
The 33-year-old “I’m Good (Blue)” singer addressed the shocking caught-on-video incident as she welcomed a crowd at The Fillmore in Philadelphia’s Fishtown neighborhood Tuesday night.
She had asked stagehands to tidy up some wires on the ground of the stage — saying she almost “ate s–t like 3 times” in accordance with a video posted by the Q102 Philly radio station.
“I can’t get one other bruise,” Rexha then said referring to the black eye she suffered from the phone smashing into her face over the weekend.
“Are we going to have show tonight? Yes, we f–king are,” she said. “Can we let people slow us down, Philly? No. Just no phones on my face tonight please, I urge of you.”
Rexha was acting on stage at Manhattan’s Pier 17 Rooftop Sunday night when an unruly fan, Nicolas Malvagna, allegedly chucked his phone at her face — striking her above the attention.
The singer-songwriter was left bloodied and bruised and went to a neighborhood hospital, where she was given stitches to an open cut above her left eye.
Video taken by an audience member shows the phone flying through the air and striking Rexha within the face — causing her to recoil, clutch her cheek and sink to the ground in pain.
Malvagna, 27, was arrested and charged with assault, aggravated harassment, attempted assault and harassment following the concert.
“I used to be attempting to see if I could hit her with the phone at the top of the show because it could be funny,” he said, in accordance with a criminal grievance.
The Latest Jersey resident’s lawyer later told The Post that he didn’t mean to harm the star.
“As a fan, Mr. Malvagna’s sole intention was to have Ms. Rexha take photos together with his phone, and return it as a keepsake,” attorney Todd Spodek said in an announcement. “It was never his intention to injure Ms. Rehxa.”
