During a recent concert, 80s pop rock legend Richard Marx was faced with an unexpected interruption from a rude fan. The 60-year-old singer was in the middle of performing his hit song "Angela" when a woman from the audience shouted something loud enough to be heard over his singing and guitar playing. The rest of the audience quickly hushed the disruptive fan, but murmurs about the awkward moment began to spread.
As if that wasn't enough, another audience member also made noise during the gentle acoustic number, causing the crowd to hush once again. Despite the unwelcome interruptions, Richard impressively carried on with his performance. However, he couldn't let the moment go without addressing the vocal attendee at the end of the song.
In a moment that elicited rapturous applause from the audience, Richard didn't hold back in reprimanding the fan for her lack of manners. "I'm genuinely curious who raised you to think that anything you could yell out was more important than what we were doing," he said slowly before adding, "Learn some f***ing manners, lady." His response was met with even more applause, and his colleague Rick Springfield jokingly added, "I'm going to come to your work and pee on your desk!" The audience erupted in laughter.
This wasn't the first time Richard has called out disruptive behavior when he sees it. In 2016, he reportedly helped cabin crew restrain an unruly passenger on a flight from Hanoi, Vietnam to Seoul, South Korea. His wife Daisy described the four-hour ordeal on her Instagram page, stating that Richard was the first to help subdue the passenger when he started attacking the flight attendants and passengers. While Richard downplayed his actions, he did express concern for the abuse the staff had to endure during the incident.
The Korean Air flight eventually landed safely, and the unruly passenger was turned over to the police. Richard and his wife returned home safely as well, and he took to Twitter to downplay his role in the incident. He also criticized the crew for being ill-equipped to handle the situation.
In the end, Richard's response to the rude fan at his concert may have been a testament to his character. He did what he believed was right and didn't shy away from standing up for what he believed in. And as for the disruptive fan, let's hope she learned some manners from Richard's reprimand. After all, as the saying goes, "good manners cost nothing."
