‘Slip and slide’: Lady Gaga dancer takes tumble off stage in pouring rain

Lady Gaga was forced to pause her Sydney show after a dancer took a tumble off the stage in the pouring rain.

While performing the second night in the Sydney leg of her worldwide Mayhem Ball tour on Saturday night at Accor Stadium, the Disease singer was forced to stop the concert dead in its tracks after one of her dancers fell off the stage.

“Stop, stop,” Lady Gaga said as the dancer slid off the stage and onto the floor.

“We just had an accident on the stage.”

Pausing the show for about five minutes, the crowd were cheering as dancers stood still on the stage and waited for the all-clear.

Lady Gaga jumped from the stage to the ground to help the injured dancer.

“Are you OK?” Lady Gaga asked through pants as the dancer got back up on their feet.

Silence filled the arena as the dancers were given additional grips to their footwear to prevent further falls while performing.

The crowd erupted in loud cheers and applause as Lady Gaga eventually climbed back on stage.

“Hey! I’m back,” she said as she scaled the stage once again, ready to continue the show.

“Everyone just bear with us tonight with the rain,” she told the crowd.

“We’re doing a lot of dancing up here, so it’s a slip and slide.”
