A world-famous pop star has taken a painful tumble in front of a packed stadium of fans – and it was caught on camera.
Alex Warren was performing at Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne on Friday night as part of his Finding Family on the Road world tour when an attempt to climb down from the stands failed miserably.
The British pop singer, dressed in a blue shirt and cream trousers, leapt onto recording equipment placed in a side tunnel and landed on two feet only to tumble it moments later.
Warren didn’t shy away from the embarrassing encounter. Instead, he decided to share a clip of the side-splitting incident on his Instagram.
His very tongue-in-cheek caption read: “They told me to break a leg before the show.”
“Ok, bubble wrap added to the dressing room rider,” one person commented.
“Should’ve gotten up to the camera and said ‘pls buy my new album,’” joked a second.
The clip received 346,000 likes and 2,600-plus comments.
It comes as footage of a cringe-worthy interaction between Vampire Diaries star Nina Dobrev and red carpet officials has gone viral on social media.
The vision from the Venice Film Festival appears to show the 37-year-old star being approached by a man dressed in black while posing for photos on opening night.
He is seen gesturing to the side, which leaves Dobrev looking confused, but she continues to twirl her Armani Privé dress for the cameras until a second man in a suit approaches and also appears to usher her to the side.
Dobrev is seen pulling a face before sweeping off the red carpet.
The awkward moment appears to have taken place at the premiere of Guy Pearce and Claire Foy’s new film Ink on Wednesday evening, but only started gaining traction on social media on Friday.
Neither Dobrev or the Venice Film Festival have commented.
Users on social media speculated over whether the officials may have been trying to escort Dobrev off or if they were just trying to keep things moving.
Many described their actions as “rude” and “unnecessary.”
Dobrev also attended a star-studded dinner hosted by Armani Beauty the following evening.
