Singer-songwriter John Mellencamp is urging loud and intoxicated audience members to avoid his shows going forward following a viral video of the singer yelling at hecklers. 'I do expect etiquette inside of the theater, the same way you would at a Broadway show,' Mellencamp told The Washington Post. 'My shows are not really concerts anymore. They’re performances, and there’s a difference between a performance and a concert. Look, I’m not for everyone anymore. I’m just not.
The 'Pink Horses' singer made headlines in August following a testy back and forth with liberal comedian Bill Maher, where he claimed that only 1% or 2% of Black people living in America today have better lives than slaves. Mellencamp later admitted, 'I just pulled a number out of my a--.' Mellencamp, who has been outspoken about politics throughout his career, has been criticized by both sides of the political spectrum and various media outlets for his on and off-stage antics.
In May 2023, Mellencamp was criticized by liberal leaders after releasing a song about Portland, Oregon, that opined on the city’s homeless and drug crisis. In November 2022, the singer-songwriter faced backlash from conservatives after he was pictured sitting for the national anthem during an Indianapolis Colts-Philadelphia Eagles game.
