People often scatter their loved one's ashes by the ocean, or a special place that holds meaning. But throwing them at a singer during a concert? 

During her performance at the British Summer Time Festival on 25 June, Pink bent down and picked up a bag thrown on stage by a fan.

"Is this your mom?" she asks, mid-performance, in a viral video.

Perplexed, she says: "I don't know how to feel about this," and like a true performer, didn't run to the middle of nowhere but instead got right back into singing her hit Just Like a Pill.

SEE THE MOMENT HERE.

With many a star on major tours over the summer, we've seen a few more viral concert moments in recent weeks. Blue Ivy killed it on stage with Beyoncé on her Renaissance World Tour, while Taylor Swift performed Dear John for the first time in over a decade at the weekend.

Meanwhile, in more tragic news, dozens were injured recently as huge hailstones hit Louis Tomlinson concert at the Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Colorado, while Blackpink's Jennie walked off stage due to her "deteriorating condition" following a gruelling, months-long busy schedule.
