"We gotta be done, Josh. That's it. We gotta be done."

Those are some of the last words Tyler Joseph, lead singer of Twenty One Pilots, said as he stood exhausted with his shirt ripped to pieces.

Not the typical ending statement expected by Twenty One Pilots at their shows, but that is what happened on Friday night at BBC's Reading and Lead's concert.

Their concerts are known to be filled with maximum energy and strong fan participation. Popular stunts performed at their shows include a drum set being played on top of the crowd and Tyler climbing on top of different platforms to sing on.

However, Tyler and Josh Dun, the band's drummer, did not expect the fans to react aggressively at Reading and Leeds music festival. Videos of the performance instantly appeared on social media, showing different angles of the crowd and their poor handling of Tyler as he struggled to reach the platform. The videos show Tyler's shirt and mask being ripped off while he attempted to crowd surf to his next destination. The fans also dropped him at least once.

After Tyler reached the platform, he shouted to Josh on the drums saying to end it.

Immediately afterwards, dedicated fans reached out through Twitter and showed their support for the band, using the hashtag #RespectTylerJoseph. Empathetic and loyal fans, also known as the Skeleton Clique, express their disgust for the Reading and Lead's crowd:

Fans are also showing their outrage by tweeting in advocacy of

the band and their efforts to help people through their music.

Neither Tyler or Josh have commented on social media about the incident. Their fans, however, are showing them an enormous amount of love, respect and support.

Why AI-Generated Music Threatens Human Creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
