Afterwards, it was revealed that the singer had panicked after he noticed an audience member pointing a ‘prohibited laser’ at him.
Now, a source close to the boybander has revealed exclusively to DailyMail.com how he is handling the terrifying incident, and they revealed that he is happy that his team followed the correct ‘protocol.’
‘Not that Nick or his brothers ever want to think of a catastrophe or a tragedy, they have ways of being present with their team if they ever think they are in danger and that is exactly what we saw in Prague,’ the insider dished.

‘Nick would love for this to never happen again, but since it did, now everyone knows that the planning in place actually works.’
