Luke Bryan Falls Off Stage in Charlotte, North Carolina
Yeah, so let’s all point and laugh at Luke Bryan like we’ve all never bit it before. Maybe it was karma that the “country” star was performing Macklemore & Ryan Lewis’ hit rap song, “Can’t Hold Us” at the time. Or maybe, just maybe, Luke Bryan is a human, and bleeds like the rest of us.
The hottest commodity in country music right now was performing at the PNC Music Pavilion in Charlotte, NC on Thursday night (5-29) when he took a step too many towards the edge of the stage and tumbled down a good five to six feet into the pit between crowd barrier and the stage. The fall resulted in an injury that Bryan elucidated to his fans later on Twitter resulted in “a few stitches” on his leg. “My socks scream liberty. Go USA,” Bryan said, referring to the blood-soaked nature of his post-concert toe cushions.
After taking a moment to catch his breath after the fall, Luke Bryan resumed regular programming, but not after referring to another North Carolina stage fall he suffered in Greensboro, North Carolina on February 17th during the middle of a blistering rock guitar solo. “So check this out. Check this out. The last time I was in North Carolina, I busted my ass on stage. What is it about North Carolina that makes me bust my ass?”
–
Can’t speak for the February fall, but Thursday’s might have been caused by the gobs of ice that were littering the front of the stage for some reason, which can be seen being swept into the pit by stage hands as Luke Bryan recovers. So maybe Luke isn’t just a clutz, or the genre gods are trying to send Luke Bryan a message. Maybe we should send Scooby Doo to investigate, or maybe we should move on to something of more importance.
Now, yuck it up with the videos of the North Carolina falls below.

NOTE: The original video that was circulating has been taken down. You can see the fall in THIS VIDEO that is not embeddable, or watch the TMZ coverage below. Also it can be seen clearer in the 2nd video that there was ice and drinks all over the front of the stage which likely led to the fall.

Looks like he’s lucky he didn’t break his V-neck.

Fucking Hillarious!

Wasn’t as hilarious as I hoped. He didn’t look like he busted his ass, which would have been really funny. He did however try to play off his embarrassment, which is a little satisfying.

The video got took down nooooo!!!!
May 30, 2014 @ 12:36 pm
Just replaced it. Another video just uploaded shows there’s clearly drinks, ice and such on the front of the stage which probably led to the fall.

OK, I didn’t see the TMZ one. That is hilarious! LMAO!

Oh man, can’t he have fallen and damaged his vocal chords or something? 😛

I was going to post the same thing!

the “Country Music Gods” at work.

He must have been adjusting his tampon before they pulled him back on stage. Just sing the damn song. We don’t need to see you rain dancing around the stage.

Fall was broken by a crowd of giggling grade-school girls in the mosh pit. Fortunately most were wearing Hello Kitty backpacks which acted as cushion. No girls hurt. Luke bleeding and taken in for observation. X-rays didn’t find a country bone in his body. Tape replay appears to show ghost of Johnny Paycheck tripping Luke at front of stage.

That was absolutely hilarious!

lol…you guys are brutal.

I don’t wish for violence upon anyone, but watching that douchebag fall due to his own stupidity? Hilarious.

What are the chances that this knock to the head from falling off the stage jarred him to the point that he gets confused for a year or two and starts to think he needs to record music like Alan Jackson or Clint Black or something? Any, any chance at all?

Anybody who sings a Mackelmore song deserves this.
May 31, 2014 @ 9:43 am
As a fan of multiple music genres, I’m just going to guess and say he’s never been to a Slayer or DRI concert where people do that shit on purpose Hahaa.
May 31, 2014 @ 9:58 am
whats sad hear is that he wasnt BOOED off stage for his shitty mettallica, rap covers and especially his pop music
May 31, 2014 @ 1:38 pm
Ya’ll are some truly miserable people. I guess if someone you didn’t like was rendered incapacitated or even worse (or better) was killed, you’d truly be happy. Just fucking disgusting.
May 31, 2014 @ 7:05 pm
If someone had been rendered incapacitated (or better) killed, I would withhold comment. The fact that neither happened opens wide the door of critique/sarcasm. It’s Luke Bryan, not Maya Angelou (not her real name.)

I bet the sock he stuffs down his pants (you know, to enhance his wiener shaking) cushioned his fall.
May 31, 2014 @ 3:02 pm
To his credit it sounds like he handled it with good humor, must have been pretty embarrassing though. Glad he’s ok.

As if he can’t get any less country and there he goes covering that kind of a song.
June 2, 2014 @ 4:41 pm
Guess this is what happens when you stomp around the stage like an over aged Chippendales dancer.

Didn’t Mel McDaniel once fall through a hole in the stage.
It pretty much finished him off.
