DHAKA: Pop star Madonna has fallen off the stage during her performance at the 2015 Brit Awards.

The singer tumbled down a set of stairs and landed awkwardly, apparently after a dancer tried to remove a cape she was wearing at the start of her routine.

However, she recovered and returned to the stage to finish her song, ‘Living For Love’.

She later released a statement saying she was ‘fine’ and her cape had been ‘tied too tight’.

‘Nothing can stop me and love really lifted me up,’ she wrote on Instagram, referencing the lyrics to her song. ‘Thanks for your good wishes!’

The painful incident came at the end of a ceremony where Ed Sheeran and Sam Smith both won two awards, reports the BBC.
