Video was captured of her touching on the topic. “Have you noticed how people are like, forgetting f---ing show etiquette at the moment? People just throwing s--t on stage, have you seen them?” the "Hello" singer asked the crowd while carrying a t-shirt gun. Then she issued a stern, but cheeky warning. “I f---ing dare you.

Then days later, a fan of Pink tossed their mother's ashes o...
