Chris Brown’s high-flying concert antics took an unexpected turn in New Jersey this week. The R&B singer found himself hanging in the air during a performance after his tried-and-tested performance stunt went wrong. Chris didn’t stop singing, though, and continued singing while gesturing for help to the stage crew at Newark’s Prudential Center on Wednesday evening. Videos circulating online show Brown dangling from wires while the stage crew scrambled to get him down.
Chris Brown’s high-flying accident: Stranded in the air
The TikTok video shows the singer struggling in the air while holding onto ropes as he begins to sing his 2019 hit song Under the Influence. The minute-long clip shows the Superhero singer hovering above the arena, performing continuous moves while waiting for assistance, though it seemed like hardly anyone noticed. Eventually, crew members came to the rescue. Once he landed on the ground, he continued singing. Once he landed, he resumed the song without missing a beat. However, a moment later, the video shows him yelling at a crew member about his discomfort while hovering several feet above his dancers.

Another added: “I like the way he’s hanging in there like an angry angel.” The American singer, currently on his 11:11 tour, has recently made headlines due to his controversial past performances.
Once, footage emerged of him grabbing Love Island actress Natalia Zoppa by the neck while she was singing to him during his concert in Manchester, England in March 2023. Fans believed the move was “aggressive.” A few months ago, he revealed that people still “hate” him for attacking his ex-girlfriend and pop star Rihanna in 2009. His next concert is scheduled for June 14 at New York’s UBS Arena.
