Brad Paisley Ready for a Padded Stage?

During Brad Paisley's final show of his American Saturday Night tour earlier this month, he lost his footing while performing his last song, 'Alcohol,' and took a hard fall to the stage. As he was going down, Brad says many things ran through his mind that had him quite concerned.

"As I started to tumble, I realized, 'OK, I'm going down!' My pelvis hit the stage really hard to the degree that I've never had that kind of pain before," Brad recalls to CMT. "It just shot up my side and down my leg. As I hit, I thought I'd broken my hip. The first time trying to get up it was just searing pain. Then it was like, 'Get up! Don't lay here ... don't lay here! That's not funny ... that's not good ... just get up!'"

Despite the pain, Brad gracefully left the stage, waving and thanking the audience. He was then rushed to the nearby hospital to receive medical attention. Luckily there were no broken bones, but the fall left a large bruise. On his way out of the hospital, Brad took to his Twitter page encouraging fans to post videos of the mishap and offering them a backstage pass to a future show.

"I was watching [the videos] and thinking, 'Well, it doesn't look as bad as it felt!'" he says. "The impact was the thing. That one bone hit the stage. It was really great to see. At that point I was ready to laugh at it."

Ready to laugh, and better prepared if it should happen again on his H2O tour which kicks off in May.

"I just think that maybe we should pad the stage," he says with laughter. "Just put foam everywhere you could possibly fall!"
