Written by admin on December 14, 2025
One of Lady Gaga‘s Mayhem Ball dancers fell off the stage at Sydney’s Accor Stadium, prompting the show to a pause while she checked on him.
The 14x Grammy winner could be seen in social media footage from the concert, signaling for the music to stop as she confirmed dancer Michael Dameski wasn’t seriously injured after he slid on the rain-soaked stage, overshooting and falling off the edge.
“Just one second,” said Gaga in one clip of the moment. “We just had an accident on the stage. Everything’s ok. Just, everyone wait a second, please.”

According to fans in attendance, Gaga paused the show for a little longer to ensure her dancers had proper grips on their shoes.
Dameski later took to his Instagram Story to update followers that he is fine and “was able to finish the last show of the year” after getting back up.
