Mortifying moment Lady Gaga falls to the ground in front of fans in awkward concert blunder

Footage has captured the moment Lady Gaga tumbled to the ground, mid-performance – and just inches from fans.

Lady Gaga fell to the ground just inches away from fans during an awkward slip-up at her Las Vegas concert over the weekend.

Pop superstar Gaga, 39, was performing Vanish Into You during Saturday night’s Mayhem Ball show at the T-Mobile Arena when the mishap unfolded, reports The Sun.

It began when one of her cameramen lost his balance after departing the stage and had to be steadied by a nearby security guard.

Gaga calmly adjusted the crew member’s equipment and continued walking – only to trip herself moments later.

She managed to catch her footing and carried on singing, but stumbled again just before the word “fly” and fell sideways near the edge of the stage.

The moment, caught on fan cameras, showed the singer landing close to the front row, where audience members were watching from just feet away.

One shared the clip to TikTok, writing: “MY POOR MOTHER MONSTER FALLING DURING VANISH INTO YOU [crying emoji] AND THE CAMERAMAN JUST BEFORE.”

Despite the tumble, Gaga was helped up and immediately resumed the song without missing a beat.

The incident took place during the first week of Gaga’s global tour, which launched on 16 July and will continue through to January with a final run of shows in Japan.

It follows a series of stage mishaps involving other major stars.

Beyoncé was recently left suspended mid-air during a Texas show when a red car she was performing in got stuck.

During her performance of 16 Carriages, the superstar hopped into a red car which was then lifted high into the air using cables.

She pulled on a silver cowboy hat and waved an American flag for her in-air adventures, yet was forced to halt the song as the vehicle leaned dangerously to one side.

The crowd paused when she stopped singing and signalled for help, before erupting into cheers as the vehicle was lowered to solid ground.

Like a pro, Beyonce continued the song then told her adoring fans: “I wanna thank y’all, for loving me.

“If ever I fall, I know y’all will catch me.”

Katy Perry, meanwhile, nearly fell from a giant sphere on her Lifetimes tour in Australia and later appeared to slip on a butterfly-shaped prop during Roar.

She had climbed into the huge metal structure when it began tilting dramatically at a strange angle.

An army of quick-thinking backstage crew members raced onto the set in Australia to steady the massive prop so Katy – who was clinging on to the sides – could climb down safely.

With the backing music stopped, the crowd could be heard applauding the star and shouting “go, Katy!” as she made her way out and onto the floor.
