VIDEO: Lady Gaga Takes a Spill on Stage
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Artist News, Concerts / Tours, Gossip, Videos, Pop,
This video has just made Jennifer Lopez‘s day.
Over the weekend, Lady Gaga became the latest artist to take a spill while performing on stage. The moment - which can be seen at the :20 mark - came during the singer’s concert at the Bell Centre in Montreal. Fortunately, Gaga, like Lopez, was able to pick herself right back up and continue with the number.
These incidents are, of course, not as uncommon as one might think. Just watch these old falls from Beyonce, Katy Perry and Steven Tyler if you need any reminders.

U2 are scheduled to headline the Glastonbury Festival next year.
