Patti LaBelle rushed off stage at The Riverside Theater in Milwaukee on Saturday night after someone called in a bomb threat. Video from the incident shows several staff members escorting LaBelle away from the microphone.
In the clip, LaBelle yells out “Wait!” before the group attempts to remove her from the stage. After she departs, her bandmates quickly follow suit.
“Tonight’s @MsPattiPattishow at the Riverside Theater has been postponed following a bomb threat investigated by the Milwaukee Police Department,” the venue’s Twitter account announced. “We are thankful for the efforts of the Milwaukee Police Department and our customers and staff for their safe and orderly exit.”
