In May, Springsteen inadvertently made his Amsterdam show fans won’t soon forget after making a big hit on stage.
The I’m On Fire singer received clamor from fans when he tripped and fell after climbing several flights of stairs on stage.
Fans watched The Boss roll onto his back and lay on the floor with his guitar still in hand before his concerned colleagues promptly ran over to help him.
His guitarist stepped in to remove his instrument while two concert staff manually lifted Bruce back onto his feet.
Fortunately, the fall didn’t shake Bruce too much. To ease any concerns his fans may have, Bruce gave a quick smile before addressing the audience.
