“American Idol” judge Luke Bryan had a bad fall on stage at the Coast City Country Festival in Vancouver, Canada, on April 20. It seems a fan may have thrown a cell phone onto the stage, which caused Bryan to slip and fall.
Bryan reassured fans by raising his hands and carrying on with the music. He then displayed a cell phone, suggesting it was the cause of his fall. Fortunately, he wasn’t seriously hurt, despite the fall looking very painful.
Bryan is currently touring with his “Mind of a Country Boy” tour. He has over 24 more dates booked until September 2024. Bryan has been an “American Idol” judge since 2018.

Fans Reacted to a Video of Luke Bryan Falling
Unsurprisingly, a video of Bryan's fall ended up on TikTok. Fans enjoyed seeing how Bryan handled the potentially embarrassing incident and were relieved that he wasn’t hurt and could continue the show without missing a beat.
One person wrote, “It’s not a Luke Bryan show if he doesn’t fall at least once.”
“He’s so funny! That fall may have hurt, but he finishes with a laugh! Great job, Luke! It’s becoming his signature move,” someone else added.
“I was there! Glad he was okay! But OMG he’s so amazing. That was so funny,” a third comment read.
“People need to stop throwing things on stage. He slipped on a phone for Pete’s sake. This is how people get hurt. Glad he wasn’t hurt,” a fourth TikTok user said.
“You know what they say, it’s not a Luke Bryan show if he doesn’t fall on stage. He slipped on beer at the last show I went to… his beer at that,” someone else added.
Luke Bryan Fell During a Show in North Carolina in 2022
This isn’t the first time the country music star has fallen on stage. In 2022, Good Housekeeping reported that Bryan fell during a live show in Raleigh, North Carolina.
He slipped and fell sideways while singing and dancing. It appears the stage may have been wet from earlier rain.
“A weather delay couldn’t slow Raleigh down. Love y’all #RaisedUpRightTour,” Bryan captioned a post on X hours after the show.
Meanwhile, CMT reported that Bryan falling at his own shows has become somewhat of a tradition, particularly in North Carolina.
“In 2014, Bryan stepped off the edge of the stage in Charlotte, North Carolina and fell to the floor between the stage and the barricade. He was helped back on stage and said that the last time he was in North Carolina, he fell on stage. So that brings Bryan to a total of at least three falls in the Tar-heel State,” according to CMT.
