Bruce Springsteen Takes a Hard Fall During Amsterdam Show — but Gets a Hand Up from the E Street Band
May 31, 2023
The E Street Band has Bruce Springsteen’s back.
During the "Born to Run" rocker and his band's concert in Amsterdam on Saturday, he tripped while walking up stairs on stage as he performed "Ghosts" and fell face-first before rolling onto his back, according to fan videos shared online.
Members of the E Street Band then rushed over to Springsteen, 73, and helped lift the Grammy winner back onto his feet. He then made light of the moment and yelled, "Goodnight, everybody!" He was kidding, of course, because he was only a few songs into the show, which continued without any more issues.

FM Symphony shines Sunday, even after key musician collapses mid-song
April 22, 2024
Fargo, ND — Sunday’s Fargo-Moorhead Symphony Orchestra concert, the last of the year, was shaping up to be a show as glorious as the weather outside, but a medical emergency onstage cast a shadow over the afternoon. The musicians had just started the third piece of the day, Leonard Bernstein’s “On the Waterfront,” when principal trumpeter Tom Strait collapsed mid-song in Festival Concert Hall at North Dakota State University. Strait and the horns sit in the last row and on risers, so many musicians didn’t know what was happening behind them as trombonist Nat Dickey and fellow trumpet player Jeremy Brekke, who sit on either side of Strait, checked on him and attempted to get him back in his seat as tuba player and stage manager Doug Neill also came over to help. Realizing something was wrong, conductor Christopher Zimmerman halted the concert, then turned to the crowd and announced Strait had collapsed. He then asked if there was a doctor present and two women leapt up, hustled from the crowd onto the stage as musicians moved out of the way. Strait was able to stand and sit back down before Zimmerman announced that they would go into an early intermission. Shortly after, paramedics arrived in the lobby and wheeled in a stretcher to the backstage area as most musicians left the stage. After a few minutes Neill helped Strait gather up his instrument and jacket and the trumpeter was able to walk off the stage under his own power. When the audience returned, Zimmerman informed the crowd that Strait’s vitals checked out and that he was heading home to rest.

Adele suffers health scare during Las Vegas residency show
February 27, 2024
Adele is dealing with some medical woes, and will be going on vocal rest as a result. The "Rolling in the Deep" songstress admitted she wasn't her best self during one of her recent Las Vegas residency shows at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace, telling that audience that her voice was a bit off and her chest was "on fire," according to DailyMail. "In the middle of last night—I'm sure you can hear it in my talking voice and my singing voice a little bit—your girl was tired. I didn't sleep very well... and Ursula from the ocean has come from my chest tonight. I can't hit my headnotes properly. I didn't sleep very well and my chest is on fire..." she addressed the crowd while on stage. Still, she didn't completely give up, though, pressing on through her discomfort, and confirming that the audience's positive energy helped her mood. "Straight after this show I am going on voice rest," she then declared, further joking, "Can you imagine how hard now me not talking for three days is?"
They never mention the vax. Jeremy Camp is in his forties. I was chatting with some acquaintances at the lake around a fire. They've all had five or six shots. One has A fib, another had a blood clot, and another developed rheumatoid arthritis. The guy with A fib is getting another shot in the fall. Insanity. They were shocked that I never got the vax. I don't know what it's going to take for people to realize what's happening.

I saw Janis Joplin fall down onstage once but it had something to do with Southern Comfort.😛
