When gigs go wrong: 12 terrible on-stage accidents
From ruptured testicles to Matt Bellamy's 'f***ed up face'
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?

Here are 12 thoroughly unfortunate live accidents, injuries and mishaps.
