Concertgoers throwing stuff at performers is an ongoing problem. Usually, it's a water bottle, a phone, a vape, or even a Skittle . However, fans are getting more creative. On Thursday (May 7) Eric Clapton was hit with a vinyl sleeve at his Madrid concert. It was during bows at the Movistar Arena when the blues legend served as the target for the projectile. He then ended the concert early instead of doing his usual encore of the song "Before You Accuse Me." Watch footage of the incident below.
