Joe Germanotta, Lady Gaga's dad has slammed the trend of hitting on-stage performers during live concerts by throwing objects at them.

He was a guest at America Reports where he warned against the trend, and declared it as shameful.

He lamented that this type of behavior is becoming the new normal at live music shows.

During the interview, Germanotta was shown a video of Harry Style being hit in the eye during a recent performance and the host said, "This is incredibly dangerous stuff that is happening to these performers."

"I have been out to over 200 shows, and they do throw things on stage, but it's something personal, normally it's like a letter or a jacket that they made or flowers," replied Germanotta.

Germonatta also expressed that her daughter, Lady Gaga's fans love her, and he doesn't expect her shows to escalate to the point of things being thrown at her to harm her, reports Fox News.

He added, "It's you know, it's a shame that this is happening."

Recently, a trend has emerged where fans hit the performer by throwing some objects on stage.

Harry Styles, Kelsea Ballerini, and Drake have been the latest victims to get hit by fan-thrown objects.

Last month, singer Rexha got hit by a cell phone, was injured, and had to get stitches just above her eyebrow.
