It's no secret that Gavin Adcock fans like to get rowdy from time to time, and it's fair to acknowledge that this might now be everyone's preferred concert style. While Adock happily swings an open beer can around onstage (see the video below), other artists will give it up if one beer can is thrown even remotely in their direction. This about sums up how singer Braxton Keith felt after his crowd got a little bit too rowdy at a show in April.

While performing in Gilmer, Texas, the "Cozy" singer got upset after some beer cans were thrown his way. "I didn't come here to get beer cans thrown at me, alright? This isn't a goddamn Gavin Adcock concert, okay? Don't be throwing f***ing beers out here. These people at the front are gettin' wet up here and it's gonna piss them off and it's gonna piss me off...I just want to get myself clear. I'm not Gavin Adcock, okay. I'm Braxton motherf***ing Keith, okay?"
Don't Throw A Beer Can At Braxton Keith...He Might Leave the Stage
Although the singer has made it evidently clear that he's "not Gavin Adcock" and never will be, fans still seem to want to make his concerts rowdier than he wants them to be. At a recent show in Ardmore, Oklahoma, he decided to call it quits after one too many cans were thrown. "Y'all, I know most of y'all are behaving yourselves tonight. But there's a bunch of people up here that are having a good time, and then there's a bunch of beer throwing."
He continued, saying, "I don't come to y'all's jobs and do anything like that to y'all. So until y'all can learn some concert etiquette, my name is Braxton Keith. Thank y'all for coming out to Ardmore, Oklahoma, tonight." In an attempt to discipline the crowd that night, the singer then promptly walked off the stage.
We definitely get the point he was making. However, could he have decided to throw out those who were being disruptive instead of quitting the concert altogether? Sure. Did he have a right to be frustrated? Probably, yes.
Either fans need to start getting it together or Keith needs to adjust his expectations when it comes to "concert etiquette." Otherwise, we might not be getting that many performances from the singer anytime soon.
