Ginuwine is standing tall after taking a tumble at Usher's Lovers & Friends festival over the weekend.

Fans who attended the nostalgic festival in Las Vegas shared videos on social media of the "Pony" singer, 52, falling off the stage. In the midst of performing "In Those Jeans," Ginuwine attempted to jump from the main stage to a smaller platform in front. Unfortunately, he didn't stick the landing and started to slip down into the space between the stage and the platform.

The artist tried to keep himself up, nearly pulling the American Sign Language interpreter down with him.

"In Those Jeans" continued to play on the festival speakers and the interpreter finished signing for the crowd as others assisted the singer.

Ginuwine laughed off the incident on Instagram Sunday.

"We had so much fun, aside from my little spill," he said in a video, bursting out with laughter. "Man down! But then man got back up."

Ginuwine further poked fun at himself by singing part of Donnie McClurkin's "We Fall Down."
