The famous Iraqi artist Kathem Al Saher was upset when he witnessed violent behavior on the part of several security guards during his recent performance at the ‘Jordanian Festival.’


A fan tried to come up on stage while Al Saher was singing to try and have a white T-shirt autographed, and a number of security guards dragged him off of the stage.


The 17-year old fan sustained moderate injuries to his face.


Al Saher was shocked and said over the microphone, “Guys that’s mean,” and then knelt down to pick up the T-shirt from the ground.


At another point during the concert a group of fans went up on stage and shook Al Saher’s hand.


 The security guards also had to interfere when a fight erupted between several fans. 


Al Saher tried to calm the situation by singing some of is greatest songs.
