Madonna falls on stage after dancer trips during concert
Pop legend Madonna was left a touch red-faced after a fall during her concert in Seattle.
Confession time, I am not a pop star like Madonna who has toured all around the world.
So, I can’t quite understand the pressure and preparations that goes into giving a flawless performance to thousands of fans who have paid to see you live.
But I reckon falling over during that performance probably wasn't planned.

Well, this unfortunate situation happened to the Queen of Pop during her song 'Open Your Heart' while she was at the Climate Pledge Arena in Seattle on Sunday (February 18).
Thankfully, it wasn’t a brutal fall, but it was a little too obvious to style out, despite her best efforts.
As Madonna performed the iconic hit as part of her Celebration Tour, the music icon was sat on a chair on the stage which was meant to be pulled by one of her dancers.
However, as the dancer pulled the chair Madonna was sitting on, he stumbled, taking them to both the ground.
Madonna, the show-woman that she is, continued to perform despite hitting the deck and was even seen smiling as she lay on the ground on her front singing into the mic.
Seconds later another dancer got the 65-year-old to her feet, and it was smiles all around as the star continued to perform as if nothing had happened.
Social media users couldn’t help but weigh in on the moment, some finding the funny side of it and others praising Madonna for ensuring the show goes on.
"You have to love her. Perfect response. Did she keep singing when she was down?" one user wrote.
"Stop Drop & Roll. Excellent recovery. Never stopped singing," added another.
"This guy will never be remembered for anything other than the fact that he took down Madonna," someone else joked in reference to the dancer.
"Y’all need to leave Madonna alone. If you have her guts and grace when at that age… she’s an American icon who’s been doing this for 40+ years, wasn’t her first fall, another commented.
Which is true, this isn’t Madonna’s first fall on stage.
Many will remember that back in 2015, the then-56-year-old's fall at the Brit Awards went viral.
While performing at the awards show, the pop star was pulled downstairs on the stage due to a cape she was wearing.
“I was told to tie my cape and start much further back and I had to walk further and everyone was worried my cape was going to slide off so they tied it really tight," Madonna said at the time.
“So here I am marching in like the Queen, I got to the top of the stairs and I pulled the silky string and it wouldn’t come undone. My two lovely Japanese dancers, they basically strangled me off the stage. I could either be strangled or fall, and I chose to fall.”
UNILAD has contacted representatives for Madonna for comment.
