People cringe as Blink-182 invites fan on stage only for huge mistake to happen

The fan froze on stage in an embarrassing incident during Blink-182's concert in Columbus, Ohio

In what is pure nightmare fuel, a Blink-182 fan hopped on stage to help the band out with one of their classics - and it didn't go well.

The unnamed fan was invited to belt out 2001 hit 'First Date' in front of thousands of other concert goers, but unfortunately the pressure got a bit too much.

To be fair, singing in public is nerve-racking stuff; bad enough in a karaoke booth, never mind on stage with one of your favourite bands.

The horror event took place during a Blink-182 gig in Columbus, Ohio earlier this week, as the band kindly gave a young fan the unique opportunity to get up on stage with them and sing 'First Date'.

First appearing 23 years ago on the album Take Off Your Pants And Jacket, the tune is one of the American band's more iconic songs.

The fan gets up on stage and is given the microphone, and the iconic guitar riff that is meant to intro the vocals was met by... nothing, at first.

Bassist and co-lead vocalist Mark Hoppus offered some looks and nods of encouragement to the young lady, who started to sing out of key, and what bizarrely seemed to be the words to a different song, thought to be 'All The Small Things'.


Hoppus even tried to lead her with the lyrics, but it was no use - though guitarist and co-lead vocalist Tom DeLonge was loving the show though, smiling and laughing at the situation, while still trying to encourage the fan to get into it.

DeLonge was even seeing trying to hold his laugh in while singing into the microphone, as the fan remained on stage without contributing much to the song.

She then gave the microphone to the guitarist as she continued to struggle with the words, as DeLonge continued with the show as one of the most awkward music tour moments stretched on, while the fan remained like a deer in headlights on stage.

The incident happened as part of the last show on the US leg of the band's One More Time tour, that kicked off on 20 June.

Now, Blink-182 will head to the UK ahead of the Reading and Leeds festivals this month, which they are headlining, along the likes of other iconic music acts, such as Liam Gallagher and Lana Del Rey.

Not only are the band headlining though, this will be their first time playing the festival since headlining in 2014.

The clip has since gone viral, with fans taking to TikTok to share their thoughts on the situation.

One said: "She was singing 'All The Small Things' instead of 'First Date', girl was creating her own Blink mash up medley!"

Another added: "I WAS THERE you guys it was so much worse in person."

A third commented: "Tom's Reaction, he's cracking up," they said with a laughing emoji.

Lesson learnt for her then, in the most brutal manner.
