Picture this: the stage is on fire, lights flashing, your favourite artist is moving to the beat, and you’re dancing along, lost in the moment. Then out of nowhere—they’re down and the next, gravity pulls them in for an unexpected landing.
Here are a few artists who, right at the height of their performance, took a sudden fall—leaving audiences gasping.
In a moment of tribute, gospel legend Rebecca Malope was delivering a moving performance at Zanele Mbokazi Nkambule’s funeral service when an unexpected fall left attendees and fans shocked.
