Furtado shared a video of the incident on her Instagram Story with the caption, “Eat Your Man … not the stage,” on Sunday, April 14.
In another Instagram Story video, Furtado showed a close-up of her thumb, which was bleeding. “This Barbie likes to rave,” she said with a thumbs up in the clip.

The duo performed at The Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, which started on Friday, April 12. The festival also included a No Doubt reunion, with Gwen Stefani and former bandmates Tony Kanal, Tom Dumont, and Adrian Young singing some of the band's classic songs.
