The Show Goes on for Pink

Superstar singer Pink took what appeared to be a serious fall at a concert in Nuremberg, Germany, according to People magazine. Pink was attached to a harness that would have allowed her to go airborne during a song but instead ending up crashing into a steel barrier that keeps fans off of the stage. You can see footage of the incident on the People website. The singer Tweeted that she's fine and will be on stage for her next performance although she is "seriously sore." Her European Funhouse Summer Carnival tour wraps in Norway on July 25th.Two other notable music acts have taken some serious spills this year and both women kept on performing. Alicia Keys sang at the Essence Awards in New Orleans in early July. In the midst of singing "Love in Blind" she stumbled backwards onstage as you can see on this footage on the CBS News website. While nearly not as drastic as Pink's high velocity fall, perhaps the fact that Keys is pregnant should give her caution that she should take some time off to take care of Junior.

Rihanna is another recent case of spills. The website Black Voices reports that she hurt her ribs in April while in Switzerland. A few days after that she slipped while onstage in France. Then again on May 10th in London Rihanna fell down a flight of stairs while performing "Te Amo."

Rihanna is tough and apparently can't stop showing off that she can recover from a fall. Ever since her highly publicized incident with Chris Brown in early 2009, Rihanna has always been shown as a fighter who won't take anything from anyone including injuring herself. Since that awful time with Brown she's become one of the hottest acts. Rihanna will continue to tour through the summer culminating in an appearance on ABC's Good Morning America on August 20th as part of their summer concert series.

Neither of these talented young ladies should be falling on stage for publicity's sake. Keys' recent announcement that she's pregnant and engaged should spur enough off-stage publicity for her. Rihanna has had six number one singles on Billboard's Hot 100 and will surely have many more.
