Lambert ‘feels Bad’ For Blasting Chatty Fan
By WENNSaturday, February 20, 2010
Singer ADAM LAMBERT regrets silencing an audience member who was talking on her cell phone during a recent gig - but insists she needed to “learn a lesson” about concert etiquette.
The former American Idol runner-up was performing at New York’s PC Richard & Son Theater on Monday (15Feb10) when he spotted a fan chatting to a pal.
He ordered her to stop using her phone, adding: “You’re not watching TV, honey - it’s a live show!”
Lambert admits he rues humiliating the woman in front of other fans, but is adamant it was the right thing to do.
He tells Access Hollywood, “I feel bad. I didn’t mean to make her feel bad. I was trying to record an acoustic song. We were recording the concert and it was very quiet and intimate and she was in the third row, quite loud on her cell phone. I just told her to please get off of it because I (couldn’t) concentrate… I made sure afterwards to kind of blow her a kiss and like, make amends.
“I didn’t want to really embarrass her. For that moment she needed to be a little embarrassed and she needed to learn that lesson and I’m glad.”
