Luke Bryan has a banged up elbow AND ego — all because fans continue to throw stuff on stage!
On Saturday night, the American Idol judge took his country flair to the Coast City Country Festival in Vancouver, Canada — and while he may have brought the house down, a fan brought HIM down!

In fan footage posted on YouTube, the 47-year-old smiled at the audience and paced the stage before his leg out of nowhere FLUNG up in the air and he splatted down on his back! OUCH! He took a minute to recover before eventually sitting up and laughing off the embarrassment. And when he looked around, he found the slippery culprit: a cell phone!
He held up the device before playfully asking the crowd if anyone caught footage of his fall:
“Hold up! Did anybody get that?”
He then checked his elbow before identifying whose phone it was. He half-jokingly told them:
“Hey, my lawyer will be calling.”
Ha! We’ll have to see how serious he is about that!
He then tossed the fan their phone and then grabbed another audience member’s device to review the footage. He joked:
“I need some viral — this is viral, alright? This is viral!”

For something that could and SHOULD have been completely avoided, Luke handled that really gracefully! Fans NEED TO STOP throwing things on stage! People get injured! Haven’t we learned??! We hope Luke isn’t too banged up!
