Pop diva Tina Arena kicks out unruly concertgoer who sparked a brawl at her Melbourne concert – after scolding attendee for taking toilet break: ‘You need to leave’

Tina Arena is being commended for the way she handled an unruly woman at her Melbourne show. 

The Aussie singer, who is currently on her 30th anniversary Don’t Ask Again tour, was performing at the Palais Theatre in St Kilda on Friday night when a concertgoer allegedly began punching and kicking strangers in the crowd.

One member of the audience said that the woman appeared out of control as she incited the brawl, which saw four security guards escort her out, according to Herald Sun.

Tina, 57, responded calmly to the incident, saying onstage: ‘Darling, you need to leave the show’. 

Peter Ford, an entertainment reporter who was at the show, posted a clip of Tina pausing the concert and making a request from the audience.

‘Ladies and gentleman, if we could please just have some calm in this hall, I would really appreciate it’ Tina said.

Seeming rattled, she added: ‘I’ve never experienced anything like this in 50 years.’

Peter went on to praise the star for her handling of the moment on Channel 7’s Sunrise.

‘What a reminder how long Tina Arena’s been around,’ he said. 

It comes after Tina launched scathing attack on fans who took a toilet break during a recent show.

The pop diva was performing at the Palais Theatre in Melbourne’s St Kilda last Thursday night as part of her Don’t Ask Again tour.

However, some concertgoers, who paid a reported $250 for a ticket to the sold out show, needed a bathroom pit-stop during Tina’s set, The Herald Sun reported. 

This allegedly upset the Sorrento Moon singer who took severe umbrage with the flighty fans interrupting the flow of the show.

In response, Tina shot back a very crass response to the errant attendees.

The pop star recently revealed the surprising reason she decided to do a 30th anniversary tour celebrating the success of her 1994 smash hit album Don’t Ask

‘Back in my day you wouldn’t leave to go to the toilet unless you were s***ting your pants,’ she reportedly said.

The pop star hopes future concertgoers heed the warning and ‘go before the show’ with Tina set to continue her Australian tour with two shows at the Queensland Performing Arts Centre and one at The Star on the Gold Coast. 

She will round out her Australian run at Her Majesty’s Theatre in Adelaide on May 30 before continuing the tour in France. 

The pop star revealed the surprising reason she decided to do a 30th anniversary tour celebrating the success of her 1994 smash hit album Don’t Ask.

Tina appeared on Channel Ten’s The Project last year and was asked by co-host Rove McManus why she embarked on her upcoming tour.

‘What designates the milestone? Do you wait until 21, 25, 30, what’s the number?’ Rove asked the pop star.

Tina responded that she came to the realisation she was getting older and she either had to do the tour now – or potentially miss out on it altogether.

‘I think the fact that it is has been around for as long as it has. People said to me at the 25-year mark, ‘what are you going to do about it?’ Tina began.

It comes after Tina launched scathing attack on fans who took a toilet break during a recent show. The pop diva was performing at the Palais Theatre in Melbourne ‘s St Kilda last Thursday night as part of her Don’t Ask Again tour when she reportedly scolded people for walking out

‘I was like, “I will wait.” The record will hit 30, 40 years, it will hit 50 and I will be dead! I can’t do anything at 50 years!

‘It seemed like the right thing to do, as it is a record that played such a fantastic role in so many people’s lives.’

Her Don’t Ask album debuted at number one on the Australian album chart in November 1994 and went on to be certified 10 times platinum.

The album also sold well in the UK, the US and New Zealand, due to the success of its hit singles Chains, Wasn’t it Good and Sorrento Moon.

Tina’s Don’t Ask… Again national tour kicked off on Sunday, April 27 at the Riverside Theatre in Perth, Western Australia.

Following her Sydney and Melbourne shows, Tina will tick off gigs in Brisbane, Adelaide, Gold Coast and Cairns, with tickets available through her website.
