Tame Impala’s Kevin Parker Says He’ll No Longer Sign Autographs After Shows: ‘Please Don’t Be Offended’
The psychedelic pop star took to his Instagram Stories to share his dismay with "autograph hounds" and excessive crowds waiting after shows.
Tame Impala frontman Kevin Parker has announced he will no longer be signing autographs or posing for photos after shows, stating that the practice has become uncomfortable due to aggressive collectors, including some who involve children. In an Instagram Stories post, Parker expressed that he is stepping back from meeting fans outside of concert venues due to safety concerns, as the crowds have grown too large for his team to manage securely.
He emphasized that the decision isn't about distancing himself from the band's fanbase, and encouraged fans to enjoy the shows and get home safely. Parker's team had previously asked him to stop coming outside after performances, citing an "obvious security risk."
