Los Angeles, Dec 15 (NationPress) Lady Gaga experienced a moment of unexpected drama during her concert at Sydney's Accor Stadium when one of her dancers from 'The Mayhem Ball', Michael Dameski, accidentally slipped off the stage.

In response to the fall, the singer quickly rushed to the front of the stage, extending her arm to halt the performance. She addressed the audience, saying, 'Just one second. We just had an accident on stage. Everything’s OK, just everybody wait a second, please.'
According to 'Variety', Gaga jumped down to check on Dameski's condition before resuming the show. Later, Dameski reassured fans via his Instagram Story that he was fine and managed to complete the final performance of the year after getting back up.
