He was coming up through the bottom of the stage on an elevator, when his foot (which was harnessed in for safety) got stuck between the lift and the stage. After finally freeing himself, Chesney performed his whole set -- he was the final act of a show that included LeAnn Rimes and Brooks & Dunn -- with a noticeable limp.

[According to the Associated Press "Chesney's boot had to be cut off his foot after the show, the singer said in a statement that did not detail how serious the injury was." No word yet is the injury will keep from kicking off a string of U.S. dates on Thursday with a show in Texas.] - more on this story
