A Dan Reynolds concert fall scare briefly stole the spotlight Thursday night when the Imagine Dragons singer stumbled while running through the audience during the band’s show in Highland, California, according to TMZ.

TMZ reported that Reynolds was performing shirtless at Yaamava’ Resort & Casino’s 40th anniversary celebration when he left the stage and sprinted into the crowd. Video published by the outlet shows the frontman moving through an aisle before he appears to lose his footing.

The close call put him near an usher as he pitched forward, TMZ reported. Reynolds managed to steady himself before hitting the floor or knocking into the staffer.

Did Dan Reynolds fall during the Imagine Dragons concert?

No. TMZ’s video shows Reynolds stumbling during the performance, but the outlet reported that he caught himself in time and kept going.

According to TMZ, the singer continued singing through the moment and carried on through the crowd after regaining his balance. Fans could be heard cheering as the performance continued.

The slip happened quickly, and the show did not appear to stop because of it, TMZ reported. Reynolds finished the energetic run through the crowd, turning what could have been a painful spill into a brief bit of concert chaos.

Where was Imagine Dragons performing?

The concert took place at Yaamava’ Resort & Casino in Highland, California, as part of the venue’s 40th anniversary celebration, according to TMZ.

Imagine Dragons were one of several major names tied to the anniversary events. TMZ reported that Christina Aguilera had performed earlier in the week, while Snoop Dogg was scheduled to take the stage the following night.

Reynolds, the lead singer of Imagine Dragons, is known for highly physical live performances. In this case, the video showed the risk that comes with taking the show offstage and into the aisles.

TMZ did not report any injury to Reynolds or the usher. The outlet also did not report any interruption to the concert after the stumble.

The clip adds to the long list of unpredictable live-show moments that spread fast because one fan, or in this case TMZ’s video, catches the blink-and-you-miss-it bit. For Reynolds, the key detail was simple: he stayed upright, stayed on song and kept the performance moving.
