Eric Church is known for his long concerts that last upwards of three hours and he doesn't stop a song for much, unless he sees two fans sparring right in front of him.

Eric stopped his show Friday night in Boston when a couple of women were fighting after one got hit in the head with a boot. Eric stops playing the guitar and stops singing and shook his head and said, “Hey, hey, hey. No fighting, no fighting, no fighting, I don’t sing if you fight, that’s the way it goes. I don’t sing if you fight.”

After the fight finally stopped, Church asks the crowd, “You good?” then added, “Quit that s---.” Then he simply returned to his song. Watch the incident the video below (note, part of it is NSFW).

Eric is in the middle of his Double Down Tour where just before that show he drove around the streets of Boston to personally hand fans pit passes to his show.
