The brothers have been touring Europe since September 9 — five months after the shows were memorably rescheduled.
At one point during the Prague show, Nick was filmed abruptly running off stage in a video that has since gone viral online.

In the footage, which was filmed by an audience member, Nick can be seen sitting on stage and looking calm before a red light appears on his forehead. A spokesperson has since confirmed to Variety that this was a “prohibited laser pointer.”

As soon as the light is visible on his head, Nick abruptly jumps up and sprints off stage while signaling frantically to his security team.

He can then be seen running backstage alongside a security guard. You can watch the clip for yourself here.
A representative for the venue where the concert was held told Variety that the show was paused for several minutes afterwards.
“We can confirm that the Jonas Brothers’ performance had to be interrupted for several minutes due to the use of a prohibited laser pointer,” they said. “The organizing service responded to this fact. After a few minutes, the band continued their performance.”
The clip, which has amassed over a million views on TikTok alone, has since been described as “unsettling” and “scary” by internet users.
