Fiona Apple Breaks Down on Stage After Heckler Calls Her 'Unhealthy'

Ugh, this is awful. Fiona Apple was performing in Portland last night when a fan/heckler apparently called out to her to “get healthy” so that she doesn’t die. Apple had the woman thrown out, but only made it a few more songs before leaving the stage in tears. 🙁

“Fiona! Get healthy! We want to see you in 10 years!” the female heckler yelled out, according to Stereogum.

Apple was said to be visibly distraught and proceeded to yell back, “I am healthy! Who the f—k do you think you are? I want to get the f—k out of here. I want the house lights on so I watch you leave!”

The lights reportedly did come on and the very vocal audience member threw out one more remark while exiting, saying, “I saw you 20 years ago and you were beautiful!”

Apple subsequently began to cry and expressed her frustration to the crowd. She managed to collect herself enough to perform “Waltz (Better Than Fine),” but she sang it while slightly sobbing.

She soon became very emotional again and, apologizing to the audience, walked off the stage, thereby bringing the show to an end.

Everyone. Repeat after me. “The health of strangers is none of my business. I cannot diagnose other people’s health just by looking at them. If I have opinions or suspicions about other people’s health I should keep them private and afford those people the same level of respect and personal agency that I demand for myself. If I cannot restrain myself from doing these things then I truly have farts for brains.” [E!]
