Luke Bryan falls on stage after slipping on fan’s phone: “My lawyer will be calling”
Luke Bryan fell over on stage after slipping on a fan’s mobile phone during a recent live show – watch the footage below.
The singer-songwriter and American Idol judge was performing at the BC Place Stadium in Vancouver, Canada as part of the Coast City Country Festival last Saturday (April 20) when he took a tumble.
Bryan was seemingly unhurt, quickly lifting both arms into the air and laughing as he sat up. He then picked up the smartphone he had appeared to slip on and showed it to the audience.
“Hold on! Did anybody get that?” the musician asked. After checking his elbow for any injuries, Bryan threw the device back to a fan near the front. “It’s OK. Hey – my lawyer will be calling,” he joked while pointing at the culprit.
The singer went on to ask an audience member if he could watch their footage of his fall. When they agreed, Bryan held up the phone so the clip could be displayed on the venue’s big screens.
