90s pop star slams fans for taking toilet break during show

Tina Arena has taken aim at fans who left their seats at her concert to go to the toilet.
The Australian singer-songwriter rose to fame as a child on the variety programme Young Talent Time, then beginning her career as a solo singer aged 17.
Her second album Don't Ask, which was released in 1994 reached number one on the Australian charts, while it also peaked at number 11 in the UK.
In 1996 she was also nominated for International Breakthrough Act at the Brits, however it was won by Alanis Morissette.
In the years since she's sold over 10 million records worldwide.
However, this week Tina, 57, was left unimpressed while putting on a show at the Palais Theatre in Melbourne.
During her Don't Ask Again tour, Tina launched a scathing attack on fans who moved from their seats.
Some fans, who paid around $250 (£125) for tickets, needed a toilet break during her set.
Them deciding to go to the bathroom reportedly upset the singer, who called them out.
'Back in my day you wouldn't leave to go to the toilet unless you were s***ting your pants,' she said, as reported by the Herald Sun.
However, several people who were at the concert defended the singer.
'It was a tongue in cheek comment. Also let's not discuss the drunken people disrupting and having a brawl, that resulted in the show being stopped for 10 mins whilst security escorted the people out. Tina was absolutely fabulous,' Berni commented on FaceBook.
'I was at this concert and I have never experienced the amount of people getting up and walking up and down aisles. It was disappointing and disrupting to the patrons. Multiple people around me could not believe how many people were walking up and down…it was ridiculous. She simply asked for people to go between songs and not during a song, a reasonable request,' Raelene shared.
'It was annoying the amount of people walking in front while we were trying to enjoy her concert. She was amazing. I've never been to a concert where some patrons were so disruptive. I'm 65 and I can manage to hold my bladder. We were lucky she spoke so calmly and finished her sets. She also had to deal with a drunken argument in the front rows and a flash going off every few mins,' Pam added. More Trending
Last year Tina faced backlash during a performance with Katy Perry at the Australian Football League's Grand Final.
In 2023 she had been slammed after admitting she broke Melbourne's Covid lockdown rules in an interview, calling it 'totalitarian' and saying she 'couldn't cope' with being 'fear-driven'.
When she took to the stage at the sporting event, boos could be heard among the crowd of 100,000 people at the stadium.
Metro has contacted representatives for Tina Arena for comment.

Kanye West's wife's Insta deleted after risking arrest with edible bra and thong

Bianca Censori left little to imagination once again while out and about on the streets of New York City with husband Kanye West - and now she's made another surprise move After reportedly risking arrest with a 'vulgar' photoshoot, Bianca Censori 's Instagram page has been hauled offline. Kanye West 's wife account appears to have been deactivated after she braved the streets of New York in nothing but a candy bra and thong. The Australian model wasn't shy about showing off her figure, donning a racy set which threatened to malfunction, with fans left asking how the sweet outfit was being held in place. ‌ Last month, the 30-year-old wore a saucy bodysuit in Spain, and of course there was her flesh-coloured bodysuit at the Grammy awards. But Bianca decided to put on another risqué display in the Big Apple over the weekend and was seen strutting around the city with husband Kanye, 48, in nothing but skimpy black underwear and a see-through top that left very little to the imagination. ‌ But after shocking everyone with her edible outfit, there was one more surprise - Bianca disappeared from Instagram, leaving fans to wonder what had happened. Any links to Bianca's page lead to a message stating, "Sorry, this page isn't available." It continues, "The link you followed may be broken, or the page may have been removed." Offering some background about about the disappearance on Reddit, one fan wrote, "She just deactivated she does this pretty often. She'll be back." Meanwhile, another said, "She deleted her IG [don't worry] gang." Other fans think she will be back on the platform soon. This wasn't the first time Bianca made headlines with her scanty attire. She caused quite a stir at the Grammy Awards in February by accompanying her husband on the red carpet, draped in an oversized furry black coat. Bianca shed the coat to reveal a sheer, form-fitting bodycon dress underneath, leaving nothing to the imagination and causing quite a few dropped jaws. ‌ More recently, on June 18, Bianca was spotted in Los Angeles keeping her upper half covered. The architect was photographed exiting a Beverly Hills salon known for its high-end skincare treatments. Bianca turned heads after indulging in a two-hour facial at the salon, emerging to slide into her sleek Porsche 911 Turbo 4S. Flaunting her sculpted legs, she strutted towards her vehicle in a minuscule pair of shorts. Complementing her look with a black sweatshirt zipped to the top, oversized shades, and black stilettos, Bianca's ensemble was a hit. Last week, the duo made waves in the city as Kanye showed up for Sean "P. Diddy" Combs' federal trial. Sporting an all-white denim getup, Kanye wasn't permitted in the main courtroom but was directed to an overflow room instead. When questioned about his courthouse appearance, Kanye confirmed his support for the embattled music icon with a simple, "Yes." Amidst Diddy's legal woes and arrest, Kanye has been outspoken in his support, sparking speculation that he might be collaborating musically with Diddy.

Shocking moment female tourist is bashed in the head with a CHAIR while another topples into pool in Ibiza hotel brawl

Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THIS is the manic moment a female tourist is clobbered in the head with a flying chair during a violent poolside brawl in Ibiza. The dramatic footage was captured when a fight broke out between raging tourists at the Marco Polo hotel in the Spanish holiday hotspot. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 A group of tourists had a chair-tossing brawl in Ibiza Credit: Instagram/SanAntonioIbiza 3 One woman lay by the pool after being whacked by a chair Credit: Instagram/SanAntonioIbiza 3 The violent brawl erupted in, San Antonio, Ibiza Credit: Instagram/SanAntonioIbiza In the dramatic video taken in San Antonio, a group of tourists are seen yelling at each other, with one woman dropping to the floor after being struck. She appears to remain on the floor injured for the rest of the shocking clip, only moving briefly when staffers try to help her up. The fight ramps up when one of the tourists who was also caught in the crossfire steps back before falling into the water. Suddenly, his pal is then hit by a soaring white chair and also falls backwards. READ MORE WORLD NEWS GET A ROOM! Shock moment two brazen tourists are caught in public sex act at hols hotspot The two tourists continue to tread water - until the same holidaymaker that hurled a chair moments before goes in for seconds. He lifts up another poolside chair and proceeds to slam it down into his victim's bald head. A group of lifeguards and security attempt to intervene, but their efforts amount to nothing as the chair-hurling man seemingly ignores them. The two hurt holidaymakers then stay in the pool surrounded by foes, while their opposition continue to shout at and taunt them. One of the men is even seen mocking the victims as he dances by the side of the pool. A seemingly ironic sign, which reads "Good Vibes Only", can be seen by the side of the pool. Moment topless, beer-swilling teens erupt in fistfight behind beach huts in days of seaside yob chaos Online users pointed this out when watching the chaotic clip, with one user saying: "Good vibes only sign does it for me." The account that posted the viral video captioned the brawl: "The chaos was temporary. The memories? Permanent." Other viewers seemed to find the mayhem absolutely hilarious, and heavy speculation suggested the men were all British. One user commented: "Can smell the Stella, Joop and British passports from here." Another said: "Typical British behaviour." But some viewers were outraged by the fight. One account said: "Doesn't look like good fun happening there. Looks too intimidating and aggressive. No thanks." While another said: "Embarrassingly British." It is unclear if the men were British nationals, and the hotel have not commented on the brawl which left one woman lying on the floor. In 2022, two people ended up in the sea when a mass brawl erupted in Ibiza after Brits were reportedly banned from a party boat. The fight saw brawlers punching each other and rubbish bins being used as weapons in the popular resort of San Antonio. The chair-throwing fight also comes after an EasyJet passenger on board a flight to Ibiza was left petrified after a group of rowdy "drunk" Brits turned her journey into a "nightclub". Furious Spaniard Erika Barrachina claimed she suffered a "panic attack" after having to cope with "scum" passengers. The Ibiza resident blasted that these type of tourists should never have been allowed to board the plane in the first place. Shocking footage showed a packed plane with passengers appearing to bang on luggage compartments and yell: "Come on Ibiza!"

The hugely popular summer sale event kicks off at midnight on July 8. This year it's been extended to four days for the first time, running until July 11. Bargain shoppers have been told to expect discounts for top brands including Bose, De' Longhi, Dyson, Lego, Shark, CeraVe, Ninja, and Sonos for 2025's Prime Day bonanza. But a little-known trick can help you trim even more off the final cost. And all you need to do is download Amazon's free Photos app and upload at least one picture. Amazon Photos is an often forgotten perk that comes with your Prime subscription. It provides you with unlimited photo back-up storage, so you can effectively avoid paying for iCloud or any other cloud storage service. However, the £15 free credit offer is only for customers who have never uploaded to Amazon Photos before. "Get a £15 Amazon credit for Prime Day when you start backing up your photos with Amazon Photos," the email reads.

HOW I GOT AMAZON PRIME FOR £1 By Jamie Harris, Assistant Technology and Science Editor at The Sun If you're not a Prime subscriber and you've exhausted those free trials, there are other ways to avoid paying the £8.99 monthly fee. Network providers routinely offer discounts on it. So, Vodafone's VeryMe perks allowed me to get prime for £1 for three months. Other networks like O2 let you redeem Extras when signing up, which includes free Amazon Prime for six months too. You can also add Prime to your mobile bill for a discount as well. It's also important to point out that the £15 credit can only be used on items sold by Amazon. So, purchases made from Amazon's Warehouse Deals or from third-party sellers on Amazon Marketplace - even if "fulfilled by Amazon" or "Prime Eligible" - are not included. And you'll need to spend a minimum of £30 for the credit to work. All prices in this article were correct at the time of writing, but may have since changed.
