The dancer had only got about five steps in before they lost their footing, sliding and hitting the floor along with Madonna, who toppled over in the chair.

The artist tried to move on, but the commotion was still having an effect on her, and she told the crowd ‘S**t, I forgot the words.’
She subsequently recalled the lyrics and the choreography and finished the song.
Videos of the incident went viral, featuring the iconic singer falling from her chair but then getting up with a smile.
Several internet users praised her calm and composed reaction. One user wrote, ”Madonna took a little fall on stage tonight in Seattle. She was a good sport about it. It was a great show.”
One commented, ”Queen behavior. Nothing can keep Madonna down!” A third added, ”This guy will never be remembered for anything other than the fact that he took down Madonna.”
A fourth wrote, ”And no one will dare say anything bad about her fall because she owned it and saved it with that cheeky laugh of hers.”
Madonna is in the middle of her Celebration Tour, which she first postponed after being inflicted by a severe bacterial infection last year. In June 2023, she was rushed to the intensive care of a New York City hospital after she was found unresponsive.
The legendary Grammy Award singer was intubated one night in the intensive care unit after being rushed to the hospital.
Just under a decade ago, she made headlines when she was inadvertently pulled down some steps during a performance of her 2015 single Living For Love at the Brit Awards due to a wardrobe malfunction, but was widely praised for carrying on and finishing the routine.
