The show was the first of back-to-back gigs at the Sports Palace in Mexico City, with another two to follow this weekend, including Guadalajara (Sat) and Monterrey (Sun). See video of the fall here
(Billboard) While straddling her flaming piano and the piano bench at Houston's Toyota Center, Lady Gaga lost her balance and took a nasty fall. Quite impressively, she never stopped singing her "Born This Way" track "You and I." You can watch the fall here.
It looks like nothing major, as Halford had planted the bike and it was standing still at the time; Rob appears to simply fall over to the left with the bike as it goes down. The singer quickly rights the bike and the band launch into "Hell Bent For Leather" during their encores. more on this story
