Ringo takes a tumble
-
One of those things that could happen to anyone....regardless of age. The stage appears to be a bit uneven...a place in the floor that sticks/protrudes up a bit higher that the toe of his shoe hit a bit wrong. It would be easy to stub a toe on it and take a tumble. He clearly wasn't hurt....except maybe his pride. He'll be fine.

@littlewillow He fell into the piano pit. Remember that one.

@jimmix Oh, I remember that time Paul McCartney almost broke his neck. The sweat stain on his shirt showed just how scared he was. The first time I saw the fall into the piano pit (YouTube). I was really scared. I told myself he had a good guardian angel watching over him. One day I saw a compilation of Paul McCartney's falls, superbly done, and I can't get my hands on it again. Do you remember when Paul McCartney accidentally punched Nancy Shevell in the face?

When did he almost break his neck? Not the piano pit fall - he fell right onto his back on the piano, holding his precious Hofner in the air so it wouldn’t get broken!
He also tripped when he didn’t walk all the way down the stairs and came off the side of the stairs (during the drum solo)
Never saw him accidentally punch his wife in the face! Yikes!

@NJR I said he almost broke his neck. It was just a figure of speech. It just meant that Paul McCartney was going to get really hurt. Not necessarily that he fell on his head.
Yes, I remember him falling down the steps. I think he was looking for it. He knows that the stage is dangerous because there are so many cables lying around, plus sometimes the lack of light. But then he starts dancing in high heels and down a flight of stairs.
This could only end badly. Either he's planning this really well, or he's not improvising. That would have saved him the trouble. I'm thinking.I'm trying to find the video I told you about but I can't find it. I think they must have deleted it. I think it happened two or three years ago.

The hofner was in the air before he fell. He didn't have time to even think about it.
I never heard about the Nancy thing either.

@oobu24 yes the hofner bass was in the air before that he fell. I saw it.
I can't find the video I mentioned. But I did see it. Basically, Paul McCartney is at a private party and is dancing, but his wife is there. He makes a grand gesture that passes right under Nancy's nose, who hurriedly backs away. That's about it. It was on TMZ. -
I found the compilation of Paul McCartney falls.

I should have said he managed to KEEP it in the air and protect it.

@littlewillow Falls and fails. He’s so funny when he messes up!

@NJR Yes, that's it. The problem is I don't remember well. It's been at least two years since I saw this. sorry

I meant Paul when he messes up (fails) - not falls.

Is this the video you’re referring to? Paul’s fist never gets that close to Nancy’s nose.

@NJR Oh, yeah. That's right. He is cute sometimes.

@littlewillow You didn’t answer my question about the video I posted. Is that the one?

@NJR no sorry. It’s not this one. But beautiful video. I saw it one or tow years ago.
