Nick Jonas Flees From Stage After Laser Pointer Aimed At His Head During Prague Concert

Nick Jonas bolted off stage during a Jonas Brothers concert in Prague on Tuesday night after a laser pointer was aimed at his head, causing the show to be stopped for several minutes.

Footage of the incident circulated afterward on social media showing a frightened Jonas running backstage while frantically flashing a “time out” sign with his hands.

A representative for Prague’s O2 Arena confirmed in a statement to Variety on Wednesday that the concert had been delayed and noted that laser pointers are prohibited at the venue.

“We can confirm that the Jonas Brothers’ performance had to be interrupted for several minutes due to the use of a prohibited laser pointer by the person,” the spokesperson said. “The organising service responded to this fact. After a few minutes, the band continued their performance.”

Crowded concert venues have also become the targets of planned violence.

In August, several of Taylor Swift’s shows in Vienna were cancelled when authorities discovered threats of a terrorist attack at the venue. A 19-year-old man with links to ISIS was subsequently arrested for the reported plot, which officials said was intended to kill “tens of thousands.”

The Jonas Brothers will perform again on Wednesday in Krakow, Poland, wrapping up the European leg of their “Five Albums, One Night” tour.

Joe Jonas Reflects On Public Reaction To Story About Pooping His Pants Onstage

Joe Jonas may not have expected a candid story about once pooping his pants onstage to explode on the internet.

In an article published on Thursday, the Just in Love singer told People that the headlines and wide response to his accident were actually “quite fun” for him.

“I like people to come up with their own idea of what it was,” he said.

Joe had previously discussed the poopy incident during an appearance on the Australian podcast Will & Woody in July.

He told hosts Will McMahon and Woody Whitelaw that it had taken place about four years prior — though he didn’t share the specific date or location of the concert in question.

“There’s a point in your life where, as an adult, you can remember the last time you shit your pants,” he said, later adding that it was “a bad day to choose to wear white clothing”.

The Jonas Brothers member recalled that the unfortunate event prompted him to change his wardrobe in the middle of a set.

“I feel like I’ve paid my dues and I’m a part of some secret club now,” Joe said at the time.

Still, he told People this week that the ordeal onstage was “a scare”.

His younger brother and bandmate Nick Jonas expressed amazement at how quickly the news had spread. “This story went everywhere,” he recalled.

The Jonas Brothers are currently on tour, with their next concert in Missouri on Sunday.

Kevin Jonas, the eldest member of the group, celebrated the ongoing tour in an Instagram post on Wednesday.

“Can’t believe we get to do this every night with all of you and the best band out there!!” he told followers.

Joe Jonas Casually Spills The Tea On Pooing His Pants On Stage While Wearing White

Joe Jonas once defecated into his pants while performing on stage — in a white suit.

The Not Right Now singer unexpectedly shared as much during a rather casual chat on Friday’s Australian Will & Woody podcast episode. Jonas even admitted the bowel betrayal was relatively recent before presumably joking that he sought therapy afterward.

“There’s a point in your life where, as an adult, you can remember the last time you shit your pants,” the 33-year-old told hosts Will McMahon and Woody Whitelaw. “This was, I think, about four years ago. It’s fresh, but I’ve been able to work through it. A lot of therapy.”

He continued, “Let’s just say it was a bad day to choose to wear white clothing. You think it might’ve been a little toot. It might’ve been a little something else — a little something extra. So, it was like a mid-wardrobe shit-change during the set.”

It remains unclear whether the Grammy-nominated singer, who famously comprises one-third of the Jonas Brothers band, ever told his wife about the soiling. If his timeline is accurate, however, he married actor Sophie Turner within months of the public malfunction.

“You know, the whole time, I thought, ‘This is definitely, uhm, somebody’s gonna be able to see this and know what’s happening. They’re gonna realise that…’ you know,” said Jonas on the podcast. “But it was all in my head. It wasn’t as big of a deal as I thought. Such is life.”

“It was a light one,” he added. “It wasn’t a full, you know? So I was able to tell the tale.”

While he couldn’t remember the date or location of the specific concert in question — or understandably omitted those details on purpose — Jonas did say that “the archives” of tour footage have undoubtedly preserved that odorous moment to this day.

“I’m sure you can find it,” he told the hosts.

Jonas, who formed his band with siblings Nick and Kevin in 2005, recalled thinking that the crowd that night must’ve wondered: “Oh, that was an interesting choice to change clothes that quickly.” In the end, however, he oddly took soiling his pants in public as a victory.

“It’s happened to many artists,” he said. “I feel like I’ve paid my dues, and I’m part of some secret club now.”

For the eagle-eyed bowel movement obsessives currently ruing having missed the moment in person, fear not: The Jonas Brothers are going on tour later this summer — and performing five whole albums per night.

Nick Jonas Describes The Public Mishap That Led Him To Seek Therapy

Nick Jonas said this week that a botched guitar solo at the 2016 Academy of Country Music Awards led him to see a therapist.

The youngest member of the pop sibling trio the Jonas Brothers discussed stage anxiety on the Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard podcast Monday, recalling what he called the “tragic guitar solo debacle”.

Jonas was backing up Kelsea Ballerini on her song Peter Pan and he’d rehearsed, he said, for what seemed like a “million times”. He said was “feeling really confident about it.”

“I started off, it’s fine, and as I walked towards her, I just went completely blank and I hit a wrong note and blacked out, basically, and clocked that it was wrong and I couldn’t stop,” the “Jealous” singer said.

Jonas took a ribbing on social media and tried to shrug off the mishap as a “brain fart”. But the effects were long-lasting.

“In retrospect, I can kind of laugh about how big I thought it was. But it did travel more than I wish it would’ve, and it did cause me to go into therapy,” he said.

“To this day and [after] hours of unpacking it, I can’t really figure out exactly what happened, but I was rushed right into a car and right to a plane after it.

“And I looked at my manager, I was like, ‘I think that was bad’. I was in shock, kind of. And then it was like a really traumatic moment that shaped the pressure I put on myself to be perfect and to always be ‘on.’”

Jonas recalled other mishaps, like forgetting lyrics when he performed on Broadway in Annie Get Your Gun as a boy, but he called the CMA blunder “the worst moment”.

Here’s a longer look at it, beginning at 1:32:30:
