After watching one of her dancers tumble off stage,Lady Gagadecided that the Mayhem could wait.
During her Mayhem Ball stop at Sydney's Accor Stadium this weekend, the Grammy winner abruptly stopped her concert after one of her dancers slipped and slid right off the edge of the stage.
Infan-captured footageof the show, the pop superstar is in the middle of performing "Garden of Eden" when dancer Michael Dameski goes gliding due to the heavy rainfall at the open-air venue.
The "Abracadabra" singer did not hesitate to spring into action. Gaga is seen running to the dancer's aid while repeatedly telling the backstage crew to halt the production with a firm "stop."
As the music turned to silence and the lights dimmed, Gagapeered over the stagewhere Dameski had fallen, appearing to check in with him. In the meantime, fans in the stadium grew loud with concern.

"Just one second," Gaga told the crowd. "We just had an accident on the stage. Everything's okay. Just, everyone, wait a second, please."
She then asked Dameski, "Are you okay?"
From there, Gaga dropped down the edge of the stage, and in one angle of her interaction with Dameski, she could be seen giving him a hug before heading back up to resume the show. Some attendees said the singer stalled the concert a little longer so that her crew members could find her dancers new shoes with better grip to perform in the pouring rain.
In the hours since, Dameski took to Instagram Stories with an update. Over a now-expired video of himself dancing to "Garden of Eden" in a bathroom, he wrote, "Hey, everyone. I'm okay. Thank you for checking. Happy I was able to finish the last show of the year!"
He then shared a second video on his Stories with him returning to the stage to perform the rest of the song alongside Gaga. "The show must go on," he wrote.
