Bruce Springsteen, 73, falls on stage during Amsterdam gig on worldwide tour
Bruce Springsteen fans had their hearts in their mouths as the Boss took a scary looking fall during his gig in Amsterdam.
The iconic singer, 73, took a tumble as he tried to walk up the steps at his performance at the Johan Cruyff Arena. With his guitar around his neck, Bruce missed a stepped and landed awkwardly with the crowd gasping in shock.
The Dancing in the Dark chanter was seen lying on his back for a short time before bandmates rushed to his aide.
Taking the guitar strap from around his neck he struggled to get back to his feet, but was able to do so thanks to the assistance of those nearby.
Thankfully he rose with a smile on his face and was met with a round of applause from those in the crowd. Bruce isn't said to have been injured in the fall.

He told the presenter: "The only thing I remember the most is I got up and I sang ‘Twist and Shout. And I’ve been singing it ever since."
Opening up on the first song he ever learned, he revealed it was a song called Greensleeves.
"It was a folk song, and the first thing I had was a big book of American folk music. And so I learned that first because it only had two chords, and eventually I made my way to the third chord, which allowed you to play ‘Twist and Shout.’"
