Patti LaBelle was escorted off stage at her Milwaukee concert Saturday night after a bomb scare.

Social media videos taken by Riverside Theater attendees show LaBelle crying as three men pushed her mic stand away and exited the stage while she was speaking to the audience.

One of the employees was seen grabbing her arm and forcing her to drop a bouquet of flowers she was holding as they escorted her away without explanation.

The singer’s band members quickly followed, while perplexed concertgoers asked, “What happened?”

Organizers later confirmed that the show had been cancelled and then rescheduled due to a major security threat.

“Tonight’s Patti LaBelle show at the Riverside Theater has been postponed following a bomb threat investigated by the Milwaukee Police Department,” Pabst Theater Group said in a statement.

Authorities evacuated everyone else from the theatre after LaBelle, 78, was removed from the stage. According to a police statement obtained by a Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reporter, they are still investigating the incident.

“All patrons have been safely evacuated,” the statement noted. “Police are clearing the facility at this time. The investigation is fluid and ongoing.”

Fans flocked to social media, with one person sharing video footage taken outside the theatre as patrons spilled onto the street.

“We do not know if we can go back inside to the venue,” the woman filming the video said.

“It would be up to the Riverside Theater if we can go back inside but now everything’s on halt.”
