Richard Marx Fires At Punter Talking During His Concert: 'Learn Some F***ing Manners'

Richard Marx and Australian-American singer and actor Rick Springfield have been touring together in a co-headlining run across the US, offering up nights that should be enjoyable and packed with nostalgia.

However, in a video obtained by TMZ, a show last weekend wasn’t so fun for Marx or a punter who was talking a bit too loud.

In the video, someone in the audience talked loudly enough to be heard throughout the Capitol Theatre venue in Port Chester.

Marx seemed to look unfazed and kept performing his track Angelia beautifully. The person continued talking, with members of the crowd attempting to shush them.

After he’d wrapped up Angelia, Marx turned to the crowd and didn’t hold back on the loud attendee.

“I'm genuinely curious who raised you to think that anything you could yell out was more important than what we were doing,” Marx said. “Learn some fucking manners, lady.”

Springfield, backing up his touring mate, recalled an instance when he was performing in a venue with a bar at the back, with four people just chatting during his set. He shared a warning to hecklers, too: “I'm going to come to your work, and I'm going to pee on your desk.”

Marx and Springfield postponed two shows on their Acoustic Evening tour – 25 and 26 January – after Springfield contracted a nasty flu.

The concerts were due to take place in Portland, Maine, and Burlington, Vermont; new dates will be announced soon, with refunds available for fans who can’t make the soon-to-be-announced rescheduled shows.

In a review of Marx’s concert at Melbourne’s Palais Theatre last March, The Music’s Monique La Terra wrote, “From watching him live, it’s clear that Richard Marx’s legacy will be his contribution to songwriting, but it’s his genuine sense of humour and sincere relationship with his devoted audience that will keep fans coming back to see him time and time again.”
