The Yondr pouch locks much like a security tag in a clothing store. However, some artists are no fans of that habit.

 If you bring your phone to an Alicia Keys concert, prepare to have it locked up in a small pouch. He's attempting to break cellphone addiction and "help people engage with each other in a real way." “This is okay.”

 The pouch might not look like the latest techno-bling out of Silicon Valley, but it’s become the go-to tool for a slew of artists — including Dave Chappelle, the Lumineers and Louis C.K. Adele recently — and bluntly — told a fan to pack up her pro recording equipment during a performance in Italy. But not everyone is ready to let go of their electronic addictions. The Yondr bags are now mandatory for everyone attending a performance by comedian Dave Chappelle. “In this day and age, my phone is how I keep my memory,” one Keys concertgoer told the Washington Post. “Chris Brown. Jason Derulo. I have their footage on my phone. If you don’t want your music heard, then don’t perform it.” 
 
 Andrea Ostolaza, 29, said she wanted to share the concert with her friends who couldn’t get in. If someone needs to access their phone, they can choose to leave the phone-free zone, reports CBS News correspondent John Blackstone. “They can’t stop texting. But Alicia Keys and others are taking it a step further and banning phones altogether.
– While some fret about the government coming to take their guns, an increasing number of musicians and comedians are coming for your cellphones. The Washington Post reports Dave Chappelle, Louis CK, the Lumineers, Alicia Keys, Chris Rock, and Guns N' Roses are among the artists using a new device called Yondr to separate fans from their phones during performances. Yondr is a small pouch for your phone that is locked by venue staff. You can carry it with you, but your phone is unusable for the duration of the show. “If you haven’t been to a phone-free show, you just don’t know what you’re missing,” Yondr founder Graham Dugoni says. “There’s something about living in real life that can’t be replicated.” At least one California high school is even using the pouches, according to CBS News. Artists are not only worried about phones ruining the experience—Chappelle tells CBS people are "vastly more fun" to perform for when they aren't on their phones—but about their work being immediately posted to YouTube and Instagram. “We don’t want the first time you ever hear a song to be some [lousy] MP3 somebody captured on their phone,” Keys’ manager tells the Post. While many fans are understanding, not everyone is willing to go without their phone for a few hours. "My phone is how I keep my memory," one man waiting in line to see Keys says. "If you don’t want your music heard, then don’t perform it.” Today reports that others worry—in the wake of mass shootings—about the risk if fans don't have immediate access to their phones in an emergency.
