Pearl Jam kicked off their ongoing tour at the Rogers Arena in Vancouver over the weekend. Amidst the fans' euphoria, lead guitarist Mike McCready encountered a minor mishap during his performance. Despite falling down in front of the audience, he defied all odds and continued playing.
According to Loudwire, the band played 16 songs throughout the night and before they performed "Porch" as the final song before the encore part of the concert.
While the band was vibing through their set, McCready misstepped and fell.

In a video shared on social media, the musician can be seen walking across the stage before he falls off.
A security guard stepped in to help him, and in a matter of seconds, he recovered and continued performing as if nothing had happened.
McCready has not yet publicly addressed the incident to disclose whether he sustained any injuries. Admirably, he did not opt to sit out the rest of the concert after the accident, as the outlet noted that he continued playing through the rest of the evening, including the eight-song encore.
