Axl Rose suffered a quick fall during Guns N' Roses' BST Hyde Park performance in London.

On Friday, Guns N' Roses held its latest show after headlining the Glastonbury Festival and performing in Glasgow in the Friday event in London. The band welcomed Darkness and Pretenders as its opening act before starting the show, but the frontman immediately got involved in an awkward situation on stage.

The rockers dominated the stage by performing some of its hit songs that completed the concertgoers' night. But while performing "Bad Obsession" from its "Use Your Illusion" album, Rose suffered an unexpected tumble on stage, which was worsened by the light drizzle.

In the video, the Guns N' Roses singer can be seen walking back and forth as he made the crowd cheer for the band. But at one point, he walked backward quickly without looking where he was going, leading him to fall over.

The show went on despite the blunder as the 61-year-old crooner stood up quickly and performed without a pause.

After completing the second song, Rose addressed the awkward moment and revealed that the stage was too slippery.

"I don't want to jinx it, but hopefully I've got all the slip and sliding out of the way," he quipped.

Guns N' Roses' performance will be followed by the band's highly-anticipated North American tour. While the recent fall caught people's eyes, Axl Rose is no stranger to falling incidents since he stumbled several times during Guns N' Roses in the past.

Axl Rose's Falls Over the Years

It was not the first time Rose worried fans when he accidentally fell on stage.

In 2011, he also fell off the stage at Guns N' Roses' Mexico City concert while performing "Knockin' on Heaven's Door." Ultimate Classic Rock revealed that the stage setup, cables, and lights caused Rose to fall.

The frontman suffered a similar incident the following year when he performed "Sweet Child o' Mine" at Hellfest; but like his recent fall, he was able to get back up to his feet and continue the night.

Meanwhile, Rose also slipped and fell on stage in 2019 while singing a 14-minute version of Bob Dylan's song.
