Los Angeles (E! Online) - It's not often that Beyoncé Knowles misses a step—but when she does, the results are dramatic.


The singer fell headlong down a flight of stairs during her concert in Orlando Tuesday, drawing gasps of dismay from the audience.

Dressed in a trench coat and heels and energetically shaking her hair around, Knowles was descending a staircase in midsong, when she tripped and slid down about a dozen steps face first.

Apparently a subscriber to the notion that the show must go on, she picked herself immediately and continued performing "Ring the Alarm," barely missing a note.

After the song was over, Knowles briefly rushed offstage, then returned and performed her next number seated on a stool, after admitting the fall "hurt so bad!"

"Don't put it on YouTube," she jokingly asked her audience (who evidently didn't listen, as the footage was widely available on the video-sharing site as of Wednesday, despite Sony BMG's best efforts to yank the clips).

The singer's rep said she was not injured in the fall, which she described as a "mere spot" in an otherwise hitch-free performance.

"Beyoncé's fall on stage last night in Orlando, Florida during her performance of 'Ring the Alarm' was a mere spot on an otherwise sensational, flawless show," the rep told People. "It was a case of her coat's hem getting caught in her shoes, but Miss Knowles picked herself right up, without missing a beat, showing to all that she is the best."

The tumble comes just two weeks after two fans suffered burns at Knowles' concert in St. Louis after pyrotechnics meant for the stage tumbled into the audience. Much to the victims' delight, the singer graciously visited them in the hospital after the show to make sure they were doing okay.

Knowles was due to continue her Beyoncé Experience tour Friday at the Hampton Coliseum in Hampton, Virginia.

Dis she and Kelly plan to fall during their shows? Kelly fell right down and never got up. Does this mean Bee is stronger or better than her.

Yes.

you people need to get your facts straight, Kelly was ill but Beyonce just took a tumble. That does not make her stronger.

What was her illness please?

This is about Beyonce please. Kelly is good too I love her but the incidents says Beyonce is stronger than Kelly.

it was a mis-match of step. the girl beyonce is strong. it cn happen to any other person. the good thing was that she picked herself up.

Of course it can happen to any other person. Beyonce is a real single-minded professional.
She always makes sure she gives her fans their money's worth, even if they are Nigerians.

And i dont think it goes for Kelly Rowland.

hmmm,if i where the organisers, she would soooooo have sang all her songs o. People paid to watch her sing, not faint. If she knew she was ill, she should have rejected the money, or did she agree to come free of charge? Of course she must have been paid handsomely so hmm, she would have given everyone their money's worth. Annoyingly, the crowd was even cheering her name. Kai! Naijans. I swear, Kelly, you for stand up finish all the songs.50 grand is not beans o.
