Global pop icon Lady Gaga briefly halted her final Mayhem Ball Tour concert in Sydney on Friday night after one of her dancers slipped and fell off the stage during heavy rainfall at Accor Stadium.
The incident occurred while the 39-year-old superstar was performing her song “Garden of Eden.” As rain made the stage slippery, videos circulating on social media showed the dancers moving toward the front of the stage when performer Michael Dameski lost his footing and tumbled off.
Lady Gaga immediately noticed the fall and rushed toward the edge of the stage to check on her dancer. Addressing the audience through her microphone, she calmly said, “Just one second,” before briefly stepping away to ensure Dameski was safe.
Fortunately, the dancer was not injured and later rejoined the performance. However, the “Bloody Mary” singer paused the concert for a short time to allow her dancers to change into safer and more comfortable footwear due to the wet conditions.
Following the show, Dameski reassured fans through an Instagram post, thanking them for their concern and confirming he was unharmed. “Happy I was able to finish the last show of the year,” he wrote, sharing a clip of himself dancing to another Lady Gaga track.
The Sydney concert marked the final stop of Gaga’s tour for the year and was not the only dramatic moment of the week. Earlier, a disruptive individual was removed from a Brisbane concert ahead of showtime, drawing loud reactions from fans.
Despite the unexpected interruption, Gaga’s Sydney performance resumed smoothly, with fans cheering as the show continued. The Mayhem Ball Tour concluded its final shows of the year amid rain, resilience, and Gaga’s trademark professionalism.
