Blake Shelton recently found himself the center of attention after a mishap during a performance in Pendleton, Oregon.
The renowned singer, named PEOPLE’s 2017 Sexiest Man Alive, took a fall on stage but managed to see the funny side of the situation.
Following his stumble, Shelton took to Twitter to playfully address the incident and even requested video evidence from the audience.
In a light-hearted tweet, he humorously asked for footage of his fall, emphasizing his eagerness to view it and admitting to having consumed a significant amount of alcohol that evening.
Enthusiastic fans promptly responded by sharing videos captured from various angles showing Shelton’s stumble and subsequent recovery as he regained his balance and continued with his performance alongside his guitar.
In jest, Shelton jokingly implicated Pitbull, his fellow performer at the Pendleton Whisky Music Fest, for possibly influencing his misstep.
He humorously teased Pitbull on Twitter, attributing his tumble to trying to match the energy of Pitbull’s own showmanship, adding a touch of self-deprecating humor to the situation.
Responding to criticism from a skeptic on social media regarding the professionalism of performing under the influence, Shelton quickly retorted with a witty comeback.
He defended his actions by stating that his account was intended for those who appreciate humor, dismissing negative comments and suggesting a more light-hearted approach.
A spokesperson representing Shelton clarified the incident on the following day, emphasizing that the fall was not a consequence of intoxication.
The statement explained that Shelton had simply tripped over a riser and accidentally landed on a fiddle player’s pedal board
