Two-time CMA entertainer of the year winner Luke Bryan turned a fall into a viral moment over the weekend when he played a show in Vancouver, Canada.

The incident happened during Bryan’s Mind of a Country Boy Tour, when he slipped and fell onstage, landing on his back, on top of a fan’s cell phone that had been thrown onstage.

Bryan made a swift recovery, and with his signature quick wit, turned it into a humorous moment, asking the crowd, “Did anybody get that?” before handing the phone back to its owner and joking, “My lawyer will be calling.”

He then gave the crowd an instant replay of the fall by holding a phone from another concert attendee who had recorded video of the fall, and having the concert’s cameraperson zoom in on the video, casting it on the big screens for all to see.

Bryan also joked to the audience, “Hey, I need some viral. This is viral, all right? This is viral!’ As the video played, he said, “All right, here we go again. There I am, there we go … there it is!”

Bryan appeared unfazed by the brief tumble, and continued on with his headlining set. Additionally, the American Idol judge the singing competition the following evening, offering his rendition of John Mellencamp’s “Small Town.”

Bryan has additional shows in Saskatoon and Winnipeg as part of the Canadian leg of his tour, while the next leg will launch in June in Jacksonville, Fla., at VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena.
