Madonna took the stage at the Brit Awards this evening, and her performance hit quite the stumbling block about halfway through. Check out the Vine (which has since gone viral) which shows her falling down off of a three stair platform stage prop. It is very hard to not wince when you see the fall, and we are very amazed that she was able to get up, let alone finish her performance.

It looks like her cape was accidentally held by one of her backup dancers, and was then pulled as Madonna stood atop the stairs. If she was looking for a way to make her new single “Living For Love” more popular, this is an interesting (and entertaining) way to do so.
