Video: Madonna accidentally falls from chair during live concert in Seattle; Here’s what she did
During Madonna’s Celebration Tour at Seattle’s Climate Pledge Arena, the renowned singer experienced an unexpected setback on stage. While singing Open Your Heart, the vocalist sat on a chair, and a dancer attempted to move it across the stage, resulting in an embarrassing scene.
Unfortunately, the dancer lost control, and he and Madonna fell to the floor. Undaunted by the scenario, the 65-year-old singer instantly recovered and started singing as the dancer swiftly pushed the chair away. Despite the unplanned mishap, the Queen of Pop demonstrated professionalism by laughing at the situation, hugging a fellow performer, and boldly climbing into another chair.
Social media is rife with admiration for Madonna’s determination to give a spectacular performance despite the accident.
Gardner Cole and Peter Rafelson wrote Open Your Heart, the first tune recorded for the True Blue album. Interestingly, the song was originally intended for Madonna’s fierce competitor, Cyndi Lauper. However, Lauper never got to hear it. The song, which was released on November 12, 1986, continues Madonna’s record of number-one hits.
Despite receiving a lot of attention in the United States, the title tune reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 on February 7, 1987. The record peaked at number four in the UK and topped the US club charts and European radio lists.
