Parker McCollum fell on stage during his recent headlining performance on the Burn It Down Tour in Rio Rancho, New Mexico, and he recovered from the incident like an absolute champ, according to several TikTok videos.
McCollum Falls On Stage, But Recovers Like A Champ
During his performance at the Rio Rancho Event Center in New Mexico on August 23, the country superstar brought his usual high energy set to the stage. As he made his way toward the stairs, which were situated in the middle of the stage, McCollum missed a step and tumbled down onto the stage with his acoustic guitar strapped around him.
He quickly realized that he was falling and managed to roll with his guitar still intact around him and land on his knee for an impressive recovery. Fans were stunned by how smoothly he bounced back without injury, and it’s likely McCollum himself was just as shocked by how seamlessly he pulled it off. The crowd roared and applauded his smooth recovery as he looked on with a smile.
According to the fan who shared the clip, McCollum was only five minutes into his headlining set when this incident occurred.
Corey Kent Pokes Fun At The Situation
Later in the show, McCollum brought out Corey Kent, who served as support on the show, to join him for “Hell Of A Year.” Kent made his way onto the stage to “make sure Parker’s stairs were safe after the fall” and poked fun at the situation, saying “you know, I gotta check this for you” while pointing at the stairs McCollum fell down earlier in the show. Kent touched the steps and confirmed that they are “good.”
“Corey, have you ever busted ass on stage?” McCollum asked Kent, to which he replied, “yeah, one time in Florida.
“Did you get up?” McCollum questioned. “I got up,” Kent responded, before McCollum explained that one time country star Justin Moore broke his collar bone from an onstage fall.
“You’re an athlete man, I saw that all,” Kent added, praising Parker McCollum’s quick recovery. “That sh*t’s already on TikTok. Come on with it, baby! I got no shame! I don’t give a damn!” McCollum stated.
First Show Back Since Becoming A Father
The show marked McCollum return to the stage and his first live performance since becoming a dad to his son, Major Yancey Tyler McCollum. McCollum and his wife, Hallie Ray Light McCollum, welcomed their first child together on Thursday, August 8.
The country singer/songwriter and his wife took to social media one day later to announce the arrival of their baby boy via a series of photos from the hospital.
“Mom & Dad forever! I love you Hallie Ray and I love our Major Man!” the couple wrote in a joint post on Instagram.
