It was quite a maniatic episode during Patti LaBelle’s recent showing at her concert in Milwaukee.
The ace diva was performing at the Riverside Theater on Saturday evening (December 10), and was in the middle of interacting with her crowd and performing for them – when her staff and security members approached her and started taking her off stage, much to her surprise.
It was revealed that there was a bomb scare/threat in the location – because of which the singer was taken-off stage as quickly as possible.
Patti was seen reluctant and surprised as her staff put the mic away while she was still working at it and slowly started moving her to the back, as they explained to her on the way that there was a security concern.
The footage was captured by those who attended it from the front row:

Later on, Milwaukee Police also issued a notification stating that there was in fact a bomb threat and all present at the event were to be immediately evacuated.
Investigations are still underway, about where the threats started from and also their authenticity.
Meanwhile, no one was harmed and Patti herself was escorted to safety.
