Ricky Martin Concert Interrupted by Tear Gas Attack

Ricky Martin was performing in Montenegro when his concert was interrupted by an individual spraying tear gas on Thursday evening.

His publicist Róndine Alcalá said the Puerto Rican singer-songwriter, 54, is 'safe' after confirming 'an individual discharged tear gas toward the stage.'

In a statement shared by his publicist on Instagram, there had been an 'abrupt interruption of the show as audience members moved away from the area and received assistance.' 

Martin's representative added in the caption: 'Ricky Martin and his team are safe and grateful for the support and concern received following tonight's events in Montenegro.' 

Authorities confirmed the situation was under control before Martin returned to the stage to continue his performance.

The singer frequently brings along for his tours, and it is unknown if they were present at his show in the Balkans.

'As a precautionary measure, Ricky Martin and his entire team immediately exited the stage while security personnel and local authorities worked to contain the situation and ensure the safety of those in attendance,' the statement continued. 

Martin then 'made the decision to resume' his show to 'fulfill his commitment to his fans.'
