Later footage shows the crowd reacting with boos, with numerous people directing a middle finger toward the stage.Amid the adverse reaction, the band’s frontman, Brandon Flowers asks the crowd “you finished yet, or no”? Then, aiming comments at a specific crowd member Flowers says, “You wanna flip me off, you come up here. You wanna come up here? Yeah, come on! This guy… this guy in the stripes is ready.”Continuing to speak toward the same section of the crowd he says, “You can’t recognize when someone is your brother? … We all separate on the borders of our countries?”Flowers added, “Am I not your brother, coming from America?” Flowers’s remarks led some fans to walk out of the arena, Georgian media reported.Speaking to Storyful, Kvariantashvili said, “Everyone hates this band now here”, adding “We stand with Ukraine.” Credit: Keti Kvariantashvili via Storyful
