Madonna falls off stage during BRIT Awards performance

Madonna fell off the stage during her performance at this year’s BRIT Awards.

The singer tumbled down a set of stairs and landed awkwardly, apparently after a dancer tried to remove a cape she was wearing at the start of her routine.

Madonna, 56, recovered and returned to continue her song, Living For Love.

She issued a statement later saying she was “fine” and that her cape had been “tied too tight”.

“Nothing can stop me and love really lifted me up,” Madonna wrote on Instagram, referencing the lyrics to her song.

“Thanks for your good wishes!”

The painful incident came at the end of a ceremony where Ed Sheeran and Sam Smith shared the honors, winning two awards each.
