Bryan falls on stage after slipping on cellphone
At Saturday night’s Coast City Country show at B.C. Place, headliner Luke Bryan’s signature Lucchese boots turned into skates as the singer fell after stepping on a loose cellphone on stage during his set.
The Knockin’ Boots singer went backside over coffee kettle. Fortunately, Bryan was back up and laughing about the fall a few moments later.
“Hold on, did anybody get that? It’s OK. Hey, my lawyer will be calling,” Bryan said, borrowing a fan’s phone from the crowd to replay the whole slip-and-fall moment back with the packed stadium. The singer then noted onstage that the slip would go viral. Sure enough, it did.
The good-natured artist, who has a bit of a reputation for live show pratfalls, was up and laughing about the tumble noting “my lawyer will be calling.” Video footage of the fall sure looked like he landed hard after stepping on the phone, but cowboys get thrown off their horses all the time and get back in the saddle.
Bryan was the headlining act of the Saturday night Coast City Country event, following Dierks Bentley, Brett Young and other country stars. The second night of the festival followed a Friday show featuring headliners Nickelback.
But the country superstar isn’t the only musician to lose their balance onstage recently. It’s seems like not a week goes by that some star or another is taking a tumble during a gig.
Hip-hop head Kid Cudi didn’t fare as well as Bryan following a poorly executed stage dive during his Sunday set at the Sahara stage at Coachella. Cudi, who was a last-minute fill in at the music festival’s second weekend, broke his foot following the bad landing. Cutting his set short, he headed off to hospital letting fans know via a post on X that it was “all a bit crazy.”
