Sir Paul McCartney was left injured after falling down an open trapdoor during a concert.
The former Beatle plunged five feet down the hole, from which a grand piano was about to appear, during the performance in Florida injuring his elbow and back on the massive instrument.
McCartney, 63, had to be helped up by worried members of the stage crew but bravely carried on with the show.
He told the concerned 18,000-strong crowd: "There's a big hole in the stage and I just fell into it. A word to the stage crew, I want a big fence around here tomorrow. Think we ought to put a picket fence around it, that would look nice!"
The legendary musician then thrilled the audience by playing a host of classic Beatles' hits as well as tracks from new studio album 'Chaos and creation In The Backyard'.
However, McCartney, who is married to former model Heather Mills, appeared to be in pain throughout the two and a half hour long set.
