Unexpected Incident Interrupts Rexha’s Concert
“Not trying to be corny, but I’m definitely having the best f*cking tour of my life,” Rexha captioned an Instagram carousel. “Seeing your faces every night just makes me happy and my heart is so full. Alsooooo I’m Good is 6X platinum in Canada. Blessed.” However, the night took an unfortunate turn when Rexha was hit in the face by a fan-thrown phone while performing “I’m Good (Blue),” her aforementioned platinum-certified 2022 hit with David Guetta. Her headlining set at The Rooftop at Pier 17 in New York, New York ended prematurely because Rexha was injured.
