Too much material, girl: Trapped cape sends Madonna crashing

Madonna took a tumble down some stairs after a costume malfunction during her first performance at the Brit Awards in 20 years last night. Viewers were shocked when the singer fell backwards and smashed into the stage after a dancer tried to yank off the cloak she was wearing. The 56-year-old fell three steps before getting back on her feet to continue the performance surrounded by dancers dressed as devils while performing her new single Living For Love at London’s O2 Arena.

Armani hooked me up! My beautiful cape was tied too tight! But nothing can stop me and love really lifted me up! Thanks for your good wishes! I’m fine! ❤️#livingforlove

Madonna tweets to assure her fans she is OK

Madonna was the last act to perform during the show, hosted by Ant and Dec, which saw Ed Sheeran and Sam Smith walk away with two prizes each. She was not the only act whose performance did not go as they might have hoped. Kanye West’s song All Day had to be heavily muted by ITV because of repeated uses of the n-word in the lyrics, leaving many watching at home scratching their heads.

Honestly I know I wouldn’t be up here if it wasn’t for one of my best friends who took me to pubs and taught me to make a good cup of tea and taught me everything I know about the UK
