![The Edge: No, you aren't seeing things, and no, The Edge can't levitate (although he is fond of a little ELEVATION WOOOO-OOOH). On the opening night of their Songs Of Innocence + Experience tour in Vancouver, The Edge was walking the gangway during 'Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For' before she blindly stepped right off and took one hell of a tumble. The video went viral immediately. We hope he found what he was looking for on the floor. We hope he didn't break The Joshua Knee.... We'll get out coat.]()

![Madonna: Poor Madge. It was supposed to be her big comeback - her return to the hearts of the UK, performing new track 'Living For Love'. Decked in a cape and flanked by lads dressed as bulls and such, she soon unveiled herself in a matador before she began awkwardly walking around her bovine friends. Alas, it didn't stay a smooth performance for long as she was soon pulled to the ground and suffered some pretty shaky vocals as a result. She blamed the incident on her cape being too tight. Don't you hate it when that happens?]()

![Matt Bellamy: Muse's second (and bloody brilliant) second album was largely ignored in America at the time of release (due to a conflict with their record label about the falsetto in 'Plug In Baby'). So US Muse fans rejoiced when their fortunes turned and the band crossed the pond with a much more 'radio friendly' album. However, on the opening night of the US tour in Atlanta in 2004, Matt Bellamy smashed his face into his guitar and cut it open, claiming that he was used to arenas and not tiny club shows and lost his footing. There's a grim video of it on Youtube somewhere, featuring the now immortal line:]()

![Otto Schimmelpenninck: The world read in horror after the Delain bassist was hit in the back of the genitals by a streamer cannon - before his scrotum grew to 'the size of a grapefruit' and his testicle was 'ruptured'. He was taken to hospital where he had 500ml of blood from his scrotum and had his ruptured testicle stitched up. Luckily, he seems to be on the mend and may not lose his testicle as once feared. We take out hats off to him, mind - he kept playing throughout.]()
