Best Concert Falls 2018

Kesha
It was a great year for Kesha, with her new album getting solid reviews and a massive worldwide tour. Unfortunately, busting ass on the stage can strike at any time, as seen in this video from a show in Dubai.

Blake Shelton
Sexiest man (yes, really) Blake Shelton tried his best to keep his feet, but couldn't during this show in Oregon. The fall looks like a tree going down in slow motion.

Metallica

Iron Maiden
Being over 60 and a metal god is a pretty impressive feat, but sometimes the body just fails you. Bruce Dickinson finds this out with an impromptu faceplant on stage.

Gorillaz

Paula Abdul
Paula Abdul's had a great and long career, and is a respected member of pop elite. Which makes this full-on header all the funnier. Thankfully, she's alright.
