Black Crowes frontman Chris Robinson found himself in the middle of a controversy at a Florida concert after pushing back on fans who chanted “U-S-A”, triggering boos, walkouts and a wave of angry reactions online.
The incident occurred during a Tampa show as part of their “Southern Hospitality Tour” when an image of their black crow mascot dressed as Uncle Sam was projected on the screen behind the stage.
Robinson, 59, responded sarcastically, saying “Thanks for the geography lesson,” and later told the audience, “I don't know what you have to be so proud of right now.”
His remarks immediately drew boos from the crowd, and some people got up and left the concert entirely.
The confrontation happened while the band was performing their well-known song “She Talks to Angels”.
Video of Robinson's comments spread quickly online, and the backlash was swift, with fans expressing their disappointment and anger on social media.
The Black Crowes, founded by Robinson and his brother Rich Robinson in 1984, are currently touring in support of their 10th studio album, A Pound of Feathers.
