Following an horrific phone attack, Bebe Rexha has addressed fans just days afterwards.

Bebe Rexha has certainly been through the mill in the last couple of days following an incident at one of her concerts.

I'm sure the majority of us probably know the latest in this rather bizarre attack, but for those that don't, here is general summary...

The 'I'm Good' hit-maker was struck in the face by a phone, while performing at Pier 17 in New York, as part of her 'Best F*n Night Of My Life' on 18 June.

The 33-year-old was quickly rushed off the stage while holding her face with footage from the concert doing the rounds on social media.

Fans of the singer were understandably cornered for her welfare, in what was a rather brutal attack.

However, just a day after the incident, Bebe took to social media to address concerned fans.

She uploaded two photos of herself to Instagram with a blackened eye and what appeared to be stitches on her face, captioning the pic: "I'm good."

An NYPD statement released shortly after the attack said: "On Sunday, June 18, 2023 at approximately 2200 hours, police were notified of an assault that occurred at the concert space of Pier 17 located at 89 South Street, within the confines of the 1st Precinct.

"A preliminary investigation on scene determined that a 27-year-old male intentionally threw a cell phone at a 33-year-old female performer on stage, striking her about the face.

"The individual was taken into custody on scene and removed to the 1st Precinct for arrest processing.

"The aided female was removed by EMS to an area hospital in stable condition."

That 27-year-old male was later identified as Nicolas Malvagna, who has been charged with assault.

But while many expected Bebe to take a short break after the attack, she actually returned to the stage in Philadelphia on Tuesday (20 June).

She announced her presence earlier on in the day on Instagram, penning: "Although the show ended in an unfortunate way it was still an amazing show in my hometown.

"Thank you so much New York. I love you. The Tour must go on!!! Philly next! Which show [are] you coming to?!"

During the show, while donning a bandage above her eye, Bebe made a rather funny remark to the incident towards the end of the show.

After already delivering a high-energy performance, Bebe jokingly announced: "No phones in the face, thank God."

The singer then began to belt out 'In the Name of Love', which she had to cut short as she got emotional in front of a packed crowd.
