Alanis Morissette Laughs Off Stage Fall During Los Angeles Concert Finale
Alanis Morissette tumbled on stage during her Los Angeles concert finale after her hair caught in a mic stand, quickly recovering to the delight of fans.
Alanis Morissette took a tumble on stage during the final night of her concert series in Los Angeles, but quickly bounced back to keep singing without missing a beat. The incident occurred while the 52-year-old Grammy-winning singer was performing her 1998 hit Uninvited at the YouTube Theater during the closing night of her Butterfly with a Machete: A Rock Traumedy show.
Footage from the concert captures the moment Morissette spun around, her hair getting caught in the microphone stand, which toppled over and pulled her down to the floor. Demonstrating her trademark stage presence, she rolled over, jumped right back up, and immediately resumed headbanging and punching the air, drawing widespread praise from fans online.
Ben Affleck and Past Criticism
The fall was not the only viral moment from the evening. Morissette also took a moment to address past criticism she faced regarding her sexuality, specifically shouting out actor Ben Affleck, who starred alongside her in the 1999 comedy Dogma.
«There was even a man who asked me why I didn't put my sexuality in the foreground. Thank you, Ben Affleck,» Morissette told the audience, before screening a clip from the film where the head of Affleck's character, Bartleby, dramatically explodes.
Recent Coming Out
This stage banter follows Morissette's recent public revelation about her identity on the Handsome podcast hosted by Tig Notaro, Fortune Feimster, and Mae Martin. When asked if past trauma involving men ever made her wish to be a lesbian, Morissette clearly stated, «I am pansexual.»
