The "What If" singer quickly lost his balance and fell off the stage into the arms of one of his security guards. The incident was caught on video, where you can see the moment the singer twists his ankle and struggles to put weight on both feet.
After the incident, an announcer told fans that there were technical difficulties followed by the stage going dark. According to several fans, the singer didn't let the fall faze him, and powered through a few more songs. He later took a seat for an acoustic set to sing a few stripped-down versions of his songs.

Despite the fall, Brown was back on stage the next day in Atlanta, Georgia. The singer has been on tour since Oct. 1 performing alongside Chase Rice and Jordan Davis. He recently went viral online after his 2-year-old daughter, Kingsley Rose, was seen dancing her way on stage, while Brown's band performed at soundcheck.
