A public proposal at a Brisbane concert ended in rejection, leaving the band and audience in shock. The incident occurred during a performance by Australian duo Bootleg Rascal at the start of their Reasons tour.
In a video shared by the band, a man was called on stage and began addressing the crowd, recalling how he and his partner had seen the band years earlier. He then invited a woman, presumably his partner, to join him on stage. As he prepared to propose, the woman shook her head, grabbed his hands, and pulled him up before running off stage.
Lead singer Carlos Lara told Metro that the band had been informed a fan wanted to do a proposal but had no details. 'I was like "finally a beautiful moment on stage"... but I guess not,' he said. Lara described feeling 'awkward' and said the man left the stage alone, later receiving merchandise from the band.
The band posted the clip on social media with the caption 'PDA gone wrong' and joked about not helping with another public proposal soon. Despite the incident, the tour continues with 14 more shows across Australia.
