Elton John Falls Out Of Chair At Tennis Match

12/09/2014
. (Radio.com) He's still standing--sitting in chairs is just hard sometimes. That was the case over the weekend for music legend Elton John when he attended a tennis match in London.

The singer was courtside at the Royal Albert Hall for the Statoil Masters Tennis tournament and rose from his chair to congratulate a player from his Team Elton with a high five.

Unfortunately for John, getting back down into his chair proved faulty, and it toppled backward, Rocket Man and all. No worries, though--about five people came to his immediate aid (except the camera operator, thankfully), keeping the sun from going down on his tennis-filled day. The singer laughed it off as the three chairs that he somehow knocked over are set back up.
Though life went on, but Team Elton still lost to Team Billie Jean King in the match. But at least we have video footage. Watch it here.
