Singer Sombr, whose real name is Shane Boose, chipped his tooth on stage at Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee on Tuesday, November 3, while taking a sip from a water bottle. He addressed the crowd about the incident, speaking with a lisp.
Why it matters
The chip is the latest in a recurring pattern of dental injuries during Sombr's performances, which may matter to fans attending upcoming dates on the tour. The incident underscores the physical demands of extended touring for a 21-year-old artist.
Sombr has now chipped or lost a tooth on stage three times, including a March 2025 tooth loss during 'Back to Friends' and a November 2025 chip at Brooklyn Steel, with two chips on his previous North American tour. The extraction does not indicate whether the injury affected the remainder of the Milwaukee performance or later tour dates.
