Let’s face it, being a singer is a dream job for many, but it’s not all glamour and glory. Singers often have to make sacrifices when it comes to their personal lives. They try to keep things private, but with the constant following from both paparazzi and the public, it’s tough to maintain privacy.
One of the most embarrassing things that can happen to anyone is taking a fall. Imagine that embarrassment amplified when you’re a celebrity, and your stumble is captured on camera for the world to see. With all the excitement, bright lights, dance moves, and equipment on stage, it’s no surprise that singers occasionally take a spill.
However, just as the Argentine rapper Tiago PZK has given us a lesson for when we are down. “I fall, I get up,» is what I’ve been taught. That’s why I improvise for the people who listen to me. If I fall, I get up—a lesson for the people.”
Next, we highlight some of the falls experienced by our favorite Latin stars, along with moments where also global music icons have taken a tumble.
Karol G
The Colombian singer has faced numerous tumbles and some falls in her career. One of the early mishaps occurred when she was performing alongside Lali, Mau, and Ricky in Las Vegas. As she moved back to make room for Becky’s entrance, la Bichota didn’t realize she had stepped too far and tripped over a lamp. This caused her to fall backward and land seated with her legs spread apart.
One of her most memorable incidents occurred during a concert in Miami when the platform of her boot gave way, causing her to fall down the stairs. Thankfully, she escaped serious injury, though she did sustain some wounds.
Reflecting on the experience, she shared a profound insight: “If you see how things happen in life, no matter what, you have to stand up. And you have to keep going.”
During another concert, Karol stepped onto a platform that, seemingly, wasn’t secured, almost causing her to fall again.
Feid
Just like his girlfriend Karol G, the platform he was singing on fell apart, making him trip and sending his glasses flying.
Bad Bunny
‘El Conejo Malo’ has had his fair share of mishaps, including one during his ‘World’s Hottest Tour’ in Guatemala where he took a fall that caused his microphone to fall apart.
Another incident happened while he was singing his hit «Si Veo A Tu Mamá,» and although it was more of a slip than a fall, the singer stayed on the ground while he urged his fans to continue singing.
Peso Pluma
As ‘la Doble P’ himself has mentioned, one of his most embarrassing moments was when he fell at EDC while performing alongside Marshmello.
Duki
Similarly, like his Argentine compatriot Tiago, Duki also took a tumble due to the wet floor but kept going with his performance.
Anuel AA
Although Anuel mentioned that one of his falls was his first, he had another one with his ex-partner Karol G, where he stepped beyond the platform and fell. Here are both incidents.
Wisin (Wisin & Yandel)
Wisin also took a pretty hard fall from a platform.
