Ya know I clicked on this to see him face plant, but what I take away from this is how fit and energetic they are for men in their 60's. Really something to admire and aim for.
Lights out before everyone has left the stage while speakers, etc. set in their path on stage. Bravo to the light man. Except the part where you should never work for them again.
Yes. Give him a break; he's 66! I'm 69 and wake up with major pain in every part of my body each morning. One day, you're doing high kicks, the next you can't walk across the room. It changes on a dime
@liquidbraino Oh man do I remember that one! My sister had Good Morning America on and I'm lying in bed half asleep when they said during the news segment that Simon had nearly drowned when his boat capsized in the North Atlantic That got my attention real quick!
@adammassacre4715 According to Simon that's an exaggeration. They had rescue divers and one of them swam up to him with an air hose when the windmill stopped.
I immediately clicked on this saying "oh shit" out loud. To no one. Then I said (in my head) I don't want to see it. Glad he's OK. One of the best living frontmen/vocalists.
they turned the lights down to quickly before he left the stage, my son is a techie and they should have left them on until he left the stage, hope he is ok!
It happens. Dark stage, bright lights in the face, tired after a gig. Ringo Starr tripped and fell in New Mexico a year ago, he jumped right up and sang a song! At 83 years old! Dang! Starr, indeed.
Those of us who remember the escalator incident from the '80s (and wacky randomness throughout his life) aren't surprised by this, but are aggravated that the stage crew would let a 67-year-old man leave a darkened stage with trip hazards after blinding him with lights. OSHA would like a word. Best wishes for a quick recovery with the knee that took the worst of it! Poor Simon.
@@daphnedixon36 Omigosh! Is it 66 or 67 on the 27? I can't math anymore at all...I know he's 3 years older than John, who just turned 64 in June, right? Or have I mathed that wrong, too?
I was a stagehand; this was because they didn't tape glow tape down where the talent exists, and left some piece of black equipment next to the exit way. Bad prep.
I was at that show with close seats on that side of the stage and didn’t even notice. Serves me right to dash out as the lights went out to avoid the crowds. But, actually I’m glad I didn’t witness it. Poor Simon must’ve been mortified, and didn’t need me gawking at him while he was down. ❤❤
Not kidding...I did a face plant last week at an early voting library in front of 30-40 people. I rolled on my back & FLMAO for 2 min straight. Not EVER going back to that Library! 🤣🤣🤣
Ugh heart breaking. Being a caregiver for my mom who was a fall risk, this tugged at my heart. Ive been a Duranie since early 80s. It sucks getting old. But i agree, they should have left the lights on til everyone is off the stage safely. 💙
"Rio" was the first new wave song i heard back in the eighties and i loved it so much...i think i first heard it on a radio station out of Philly that only lasted a short time, that played mainly new wave stuff...The Cure will always be my #1, but i love Duran Duran too, some of it...i'm so bummed that Sinead O'Connor died last year....
Simon, if you read this, I’m so glad you’re ok. It seems you blacked out or something. I’ve fallen over stuff too. I’m glad you are ok. I saw you at Turning Stone Casino, left side 3 yeah you ok. I was really hoping you could see me! Amazing Show! I wish I was going to the Halloween show in MSG! 🥲 it’s gonna be phenomenal! And Nick is gong to be in glory.

I was going to laugh but I won’t !!! something similar happened to me once I was carrying my mother-in-laws bed pan and I fell down the stairs covered in piss and shit !! Unbeknownst to me she pulled the upstairs landing rug from under me. Silly cow 🤣👍
What did he trip over and was he knocked unconscious for a moment? Please Please Tell Me Now!! Just glad he's ok and didn't Come Undone. He'll be ok and right as rain as sure as there'll be a New Moon On Monday.
Probably just knocked the wind out of himself. These days it takes me a while to get up after a fall. Have to take a moment and inventory all the parts before moving. 😂
Omg omg omg omg I heard about this on FB and everything went through my head 🗣️🗣️🗣️ I just hope he's ok and well 🙏🙏🙏 when ya hear things like this you Panic for ya all time favourite front man of the best band ever on planet earth 🌎🌍🌎 Duran Duran been a die hard Duranie since 1981 was 12 years old now 56 still a die hard Duranie get well soon Simon lebon hugs sent to ya as always hugs and respect 🎉🎉🎉
Simon says …next time wait til I’m off stage before you dim the lights !😎😎😎
Exactly .
He didn't hit hard at all. Faking it!
The lighting guy is looking for a new job.
How about older dudes should not be jumping around on stages?
Exactly 💯
The Reflex wasn’t quite there that time😅
Nice.. 😂😂

Your the light guy , shed some
Light when it's needed. Idiot 🥴
One of the road crew should be there with flashlights IMHO. I used to be roadie, but what would I know?
Exactly 💯 %
In all fairness, he lagged behind the others.
OUCH!!! Falls in the dark can really hurt. Glad he was able to get up fairly quickly. We must protect and preserve our ageing rockstars...
Everybody has been fallen, bruce fell, Miguel fell, Juanga fell, spreenteen fell, now this boy also fell
@@sidewalks22 "Bruise" Spreenteen?
@@sidewalks22It seems you fell too...😂
Quickly ? He laid there for 2 minutes , flat , a crew helped him up.

Yes, must be so hard... imagine working 8 hours every day

I wonder if Mick Jagger at his age, when he works 2 hours a day, if he exerts more energy than you do in your 8-hour day?
How old are you?
@pistre14 - 8 hours of NONSTOP movement and vocalizing would kill you. But you know that. We get it. Rich people are s!#$. You hate them. Ok.
Forever!❤
Horrible monitor placement

No. I’m one of the WILD BOYS who likes to watch GIRLS ON FILM and is hoping for a NEW MOON ON MONDAY.

One of the greatest bands ever. Simon and the boys never disappoint.
He's survived much worse things (like when his boat capsized). He's a tough dude, he'll be OK.
@liquidbraino Oh man do I remember that one! My sister had Good Morning America on and I'm lying in bed half asleep when they said during the news segment that Simon had nearly drowned when his boat capsized in the North Atlantic That got my attention real quick!
@@daphnedixon36I remember that, too! #Duranie4Life
Didn't he almost drown too during the making of wild boys...the windmill got stuck underwater with Simon strapped to it. 😮
@adammassacre4715 According to Simon that's an exaggeration. They had rescue divers and one of them swam up to him with an air hose when the windmill stopped.
Remember that, for ages I thought the yacht in Rio (Eilean)was the same boat that Simon owned but it wasn’t (Drum)
He’s doing bloody well by any standard. Great band, great songs.
I love how hes on the ground and A view to a kill is playing...hahaha
A View To A Kill plays in the background while Simon is on the floor. 😮😂
😂😂
😅
Oh no, poor Simon! I hope he's completely okay. He is precious to many of us!
No joke . exhausted performers giving it their all on Tour. 🙏

SAME!!!
Loud, why 'out' loud
@sidewalks22 I said it out loud, Not in my head, where all the voices usually are 🤙
He's fine. Looked like a banged knee and hurt pride. Nothing a Lego wouldn't do in the middle of the living room in the dark.
He fell ...his body and guts didnt splatter all over the stage....drama😮🙄
I'll Save a Prayer for him 😁
Save it 'til the morning after

Show much go on!

Def lights being off and a monitor in the middle of the walkway
This is Duran Duran, not The Beatles.

At his age, Ringo is lucky he dodnt bust a hip. They would have pulled a sheet around.
Your point? She was stating that Ringo fell over and got right up! @@ericfabian5080

They need to keep those lights on until everyone is off the stage. I bet they did the following night.
And Birmingham UK 2005 when he tripped over a monitor speaker.
He's 65 by the way.
He turns 66 this Sunday

They canned the lights just as he was turning,and he didn't see the stand,oooh,bet they caught hell for that!
I'm glad he was ok. I'm kind of surprised they didn't have that path spiked out.
the floor tape was not there!! some roadie will be fired!
It was staged for attention..he fell at the exact mark and quite carefully ..real falls are way more chaotic
That was actually scary ! I hope he's full recovered as one can never know , even for a rock star.Fantastic band
Yikes, poor Simon, i hope he wasn't hurt
Rock ON, DD!
God bless Simon! He was so happy, dropping kisses! Walks it off like a trooper! :D
WALKING OFF THE STAGE LIKE SOME NEW ROMANTIC LOOKING FOR THE TV SOUND
Life alert For Christmas would be a great gift for this guy
With a view to a kill playing!! Classic!
This band music is so entwined with my youth. … always a fan! So pleased he is okay
I was a stagehand; this was because they didn't tape glow tape down where the talent exists, and left some piece of black equipment next to the exit way. Bad prep.
Recovering safely and in great spirits for that audience, Simon; impressively resilient for sure...got some support by nearby folks quickly as well.
Hey Simon...
Planet Earth has gravity but you've got great Reflexes. 👍
I love how the tune to a view to a kill came on as he’s on the floor lol 😂
I was at that show with close seats on that side of the stage and didn’t even notice. Serves me right to dash out as the lights went out to avoid the crowds. But, actually I’m glad I didn’t witness it. Poor Simon must’ve been mortified, and didn’t need me gawking at him while he was down. ❤❤
"As The Lights Go Down" he fell. Bless him.
He sure got back on his feet quickly. He must have “The Reflex….ex…..ex……ex……ex!!!”
Not kidding...I did a face plant last week at an early voting library in front of 30-40 people. I rolled on my back & FLMAO for 2 min straight. Not EVER going back to that Library! 🤣🤣🤣

What the hell as huge fan and nurse medics should have been there leave the damn lights on I felt sick watching it all love simon❤
They look great for their age
Poor Simon. The stage was so dark he couldn't see any obstacles.
STILL ALIVE TO ROCK ANOTHER DAY
Where theirs blame there’s a claim haha loved that one.
He snatched defeat from the jaws of victory...
Now we can all have a laugh, also at "That Fatal Kiss" soundtracking the topical moment. : D
I hope someone SAVES A PRAYER for him
Ugh heart breaking. Being a caregiver for my mom who was a fall risk, this tugged at my heart. Ive been a Duranie since early 80s. It sucks getting old. But i agree, they should have left the lights on til everyone is off the stage safely. 💙

"Rio" will always be one of my favourite 80's Albums !! Packed full of quality.
🎶 And as I try to make my way, stumbling as I walk off stage… I will learn to surviiiive🎶
The shadows weren’t on his side, as soon as the lights went down… 😉🤕
In the darkest place he could find … he belonged to the hands of the night!
Maybe next time he should spin a compass to choose his way
Oh you rascal!

Crazy stuff like that happens!! Glad he’s ok.
That monitor was "hungry like the wolf",,,
"The reflex, the reflex"
Wild boys never lose it.
A view to a spill playing in the background.

They`d be all waiting for Simon in the dressing room and have no clue he took a fall.
The REFLEXis a lonely child! How true!
Best wishes to you Simon! ❤
I saw them last year with Nile Rodgers at Forest Hills Stadium. Simon is so cool and has a dry sense of humor between songs
Ouch! Hope he’s ok. I’ve tripped over an obstacle before and it’s not fun-I broke three ribs and my right cheek bone.

That was the most gentle controlled fall I have ever seen, and yet he stayed down, I suppose he will sue the lighting guys.
In slow motion...
