Lady Gaga fell from the stage during her Las Vegas show on Thursday night after being picked up and dropped by a fan.
During her “Enigma” show at Park Theater, the star invited a fan called Jack on stage.
He picked her up and Lady Gaga wrapped her legs around his waist, but as the pair danced, Jack lost his balance and both tumbled off the edge of the stage and into the crowd.
The incident was captured close up by fan Barnabas Tarigan, who uploaded a video of the fall to YouTube.
In the clip, fans can be heard screaming as the accident unfolds.
Another fan, posting on YouTube as “LG6 Dreamers” and watching the stage from above, also uploaded mobile phone footage of the accident.
In the clip, Gaga can be heard asking the crowd: “What do you think, should I give Jack a hug? Come on Jack, where are you? Where’s Jack? Hey, Jack!” before inviting the fan on stage and embracing him.
The pair then fall, and after a few seconds the star can be heard assuring the crowd, “Everything’s okay,” and then joking: “The only thing that’s not okay is we need some stairs for the damn stage so I can get back up.”
Gaga then asked Jack, “Are you alright?” before telling him “It’s not your fault, let’s go, come on.”
Laurie Calderone also caught the incident live, this time from behind the pair as they fell:
Another video uploaded to Twitter by a fan account, Lady Gaga Facts, appears to show her continuing to perform after her fall, adding: “Lady Gaga fell off the stage and then proceeded to kill the Bad Romance choreography like nothing ever happened. The level of professionalism… far too much!”
Representatives for Lady Gaga did not immediately respond to Insider for comment.
However, Gaga posted photos on Instagram of herself in both ice and hot baths, as well as a compression suit filled with ice packs, in an attempt to recover.
“Post show routine: ice bath for 5-10 min, hot bath for 20, then compression suit packed with ice packs for 20,” she said.
Lady Gaga’s “Enigma” residency, which kicked off in December 2018 and is due to run until May 2020, includes two types of show: Enigma, in which Gaga performs her biggest hits in her characteristic theatrical style; and Jazz and Piano, where she performs stripped-back versions of American classics as well as raw versions of her own songs.
Gaga, born Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, has had five UK no.1 singles, according to Official Charts, and four songs at no.1 on the Billboard charts, since her debut album “The Fame” dropped in 2008.
In an interview with Oprah Winfrey in 2010, the star revealed that the inspiration for her “Gaga” moniker came from a nickname for the singer used by her former boyfriend and producer Rob Fusari.
