Madonna falls on stage during Brit Awards performance

During her closing performance at Britain's pop music awards in London Wednesday night, Madonna took a bad tumble down some stairs after one of her dancers tried to tear her dramatic black cape away, but ended up taking The Material Girl with it.

After falling flat on her famous backside, the 56-year-old star lay on the stage for a moment before getting back up to brush herself off.

After the performance, the singer shared an illustration of her Armani cape on Instagram, with a caption explaining how the mishap occurred.

"My beautiful cape was tied too tight," the artist wrote. "But nothing can stop me and love really lifted me up! Thanks for your good wishes! I'm fine!"
Social media was immediately flooded with praise for how Madge handled the tumble.

"Tell you though not many artists would continue after that fall. Way to go Madonna for being a trooper & carrying on," Mario Lopez tweeted.

Others also had words of encouragement, hailing her for an outstanding performance despite the fall.
