Benson Boone just turned the classic backstage VIP meet-and-greet into an accidental full-frontal nightmare.
Appearing on the Australian podcast Life Uncut, the pop sensation confessed to a mortifying tour mishap where an unsuspecting concertgoer walked in on him at a urinal with his pants completely dropped.
“I’ve never told this story,” the singer admitted, recounting an opening-night gig where he did not realize his backstage restroom was accessible to the crowd. “My bathroom that I had was shared with the audience bathroom, so, like, anyone in the audience could be in the bathroom that I was in, and I didn’t know that.”
While most people simply “unzip and let it rip,” Boone explained that he and his high school buddies maintain an unhinged, running gag. “Well, we do a thing where we just fully take off our pants. And we’re standing there with a shirt on but no pants on. So I walk in there, drop the drawers. They are fully at my ankles, and I have started taking the p**s.”
Things unraveled fast. “Once you start, you can’t stop or it hurts, so I’m standing there, and someone walks in, and I didn’t look. I didn’t look over because I assumed it would be, like, [one of my friends], and it wasn’t.”
Instead, a horrified concert attendee froze mid-step. “It was a fan coming to the show, and he just stopped and [gasped],” Boone revealed. “And I heard the gasp, and that’s when I turned.”
A panicked mid-urination interrogation followed: “And he goes, ‘Yeah.’ And I was like, ‘What are you doing back here?’ And he’s like, ‘Uh, this is the bathroom. What are you doing back here?’”
“It was so awkward. I was horrified. Luckily, great guy. He was super cool,” Boone concluded, admitting he capped the meet-and-greet by “pulling up my drawers” and shaking the fan’s hand before washing up.
