Video: Madonna Falls from the Stage at the Brit Awards

So last night at the Brit Awards, the U.K. equivalent of the Grammys, 56-year-old queen of pop Madonna shocked fans when she was horse collared and yanked off a riser onto a stage feet below ... all at the hands of a backup dancer.

The singer was closing Wednesday’s ceremony in London with a performance of her song “Living For Love.” wearing an Armani cape with her back to the audience. The plan was for the backup dancer to dramatically pull the cape off of her as she revealed a sparkly outfit.

But before the pull, Madonna was supposed to untie the cape strap around her neck. It was tied too tight and before it could be undone the backup dancer did his thing, pulling Madonna backwards neck first onto the stage.

She took a minute though to collect herself and then went on performing. It's the first time in 20 years Madonna performed at the Brit Awards. Press play to watch the video after the cut.
