Musicians who injured themselves while performing

Post Malone took quite a tumble when he accidentally fell through a trap door while performing in St. Louis on September 17 2022. He had just started singing 'Circles' and was stomping down the stage's ramp when he stomped into a hole. The show was stopped and a team of medics appeared to help Malone before escorting him offstage. The musician promised to return, and he did soon after.
