Tim McGraw Tumbles Offstage, Fans Jokingly Blames His Skinny Jeans

Tim McGraw was performing "I Like it, I Love It" at the Boots in the Park concert in Tempe, Arizona, when the country singer knelt down to thank his band and lost his footing, falling offstage.

Lucky for the 55-year-old singer, he fell in what seemed like slow motion, and security guards were there to break his otherwise painful fall. He was helped up by security and emerged unscathed by the whole ordeal, reports say.

Afterwhich, he came to the barricade and greeted fans along the way to show he was alright. According to his representative, he is doing fine.

The Culprit

Several fans managed to film the incident and uploaded the video on social media, including TikTok.

Fans joked commenting, "McGraw, don't drink before your show," with laughing emojis.

"Damn and I wasn't there to catch you, Time. You got up with grace though. Hope you're okay," wrote another fan.

"Your knees aren't as strong as they used to be, Tim! But nice save! You're awesome."

"No one will convince me that he was sober when he so gracefully fell off the stage."

Some fans, were understandably concerned as well. "I'm glad he's ok. He looks exhausted, that AZ heat ain't no joke."

"His concert was absolutely terrible! He was slurring, mumbling, stumbling around, forgot the lyrics, was offbeat and tempo... just bad all around," another replied.

"We were there and something was definitely off... he was drunk or messed up on something," another concert goer commented.

While other fans cited his skinny jeans as the cause of his fall, "when Tim McGraw's bun hugging jeans are too tight to get up, he just falls and greets the crowd."

Falling Offstage-A Trend?

A fan noted that several artists have fallen offstage as well, some were not as lucky as the country singer, though.

Just the previous day, Post Malone fell through a hole onstage while he was performing in St. Louis, Missouri.

He was rushed off stage by medic but returned afterward to continue the show. He apologized to the fans, "St. Louis, I'm so fucking sorry I ruined the show tonight, ladies and gentlemen."

"I promise next time I come around, I won't fucking wreck y'alls night; I'm sorry for that. That being said, I want to thank you for your patience and I'm sorry. There was a big-ass hole in the middle of the stage that I just busted my ass on," he said.

During a show in Huntsville, one of the backups for the rock band Ghost also fell during their set in September; and before that, Tom Morello of Rage Against The Machine also fell during a show in Toronto.
