Moments later, while singing โLose It,โ Brown maneuvered from the side stage down to the speakers above the pit to greet screaming fans. The artist then fell off the stage, into the arms of a security guard.ย The band continued to play an instrumental interlude until it was evident Brown was not returning to the stage.
As depicted in the video posted by @erinaustin, his security team escorted Brown from the pit section. He then returned to the stage where he was praised by an enthused audience for finishing his show. It became evident he was in too much pain for his characteristic high-energy show when the artist sat down and continued on with an acoustic set. Empathy poured onstage from his adorning audience who cheered him on as he played his hit “Worship You” with tears in his eyes, through the pain.
After the show, Brown shared a video of his injury, joking, โMemphis it looks normal itโs fine” along with the confirmation that his Sunday (October 24) show was still on in Atlanta.
The stops are part of Brown’s Blessed & Free Tour which commenced October 1 in Sacramento.
