Country star Zach Bryan has issued a warning to fans as he removed a concertgoer from one of his shows when they attempted to take his beloved guitar.

The 27-year-old asked security to remove the fan after they tried to "rip his instrument out of his hands".

The incident was filmed by another attendee and shared on TikTok.

In the video, Zach was seen walking through the crowd at Albany's MVP Arena as he held the guitar in front of him.

An unidentified woman then grabbed the instrument and seemed to refuse to let go. The singer then turned to his security team and said: "Hey, get her out of here."

Explaining his decision on Twitter, Zach said: "I give J-45's out at a lot of concerts.

"The one in my hands when this happened was mine, my sweet ol' gal, we've been everywhere together and written every song in the last few years together.

"Took it personal, but nothing against whoever wound up getting kicked out."

In a second tweet, he added: "I don't mind people being respectful and trying to touch me or the guitar, but if you try to rip it out of my hands I promise I'll rip you out of whatever venue we're at, respectfully, of course."

Fans supported Zach's decision, with one person commenting: "As you should. People should be more respectful than that."

Another said: "I feel we as a society have gotten a little too comfortable with this kind of behavior. There is a little thing called boundaries and being respectful to people. People already deal with many things, especially artists and other public figures."

A third fan added: "It’s funny how people forget how to act bc you’re one of the kindest people we’ve ever met after a show!"

Zach sold out his The Burn, Burn, Burn tour in 30 seconds, though he admitted that wasn't what he cared about.

"I didn’t care about selling out the tour in thirty seconds, I cared about people getting reasonably priced tickets," he said on Instagram back in February.

"We sold all the tickets in 3 waves to actual fans, we hired teams to limit bots, and we sacrificed a lot of personal things to give real people, real seats.
