Beyonce Rescued From Stage Malfunction in Poland

Beyoncé was left stranded after a flying stage malfunctioned during her Saturday night concert with husband Jay-Z in Warsaw, Poland, forcing the star to climb down a ladder to safety.

The singer was performing on her On the Run II tour when the aerial platform she was riding on at the close of the show got stuck, leaving the mom of three stranded 20 feet in the air during the couple’s performance of “Young Forever” and “Perfect.”

After it became clear Beyoncé was stuck, a team of stagehands came to her rescue with a ladder, though it took a bit of convincing for the singer to scale it, as evidenced by videos posted by fans.

As the star was wearing high heels at the time, she naturally seemed a bit reluctant to descend the ladder, with fans chanting Beyoncé’s name as she considered her options.

During the confusion, the couple’s band continued to play as the crowd cheered, with the singer eventually giving in and using the ladder to get herself to safety, exiting the stage as fans filmed the moment.

Beyoncé and Jay-Z embarked on their joint tour after dropping their joint album, Everything Is Love, beginning the trek on June 6 in the UK. The pair are traveling to 15 cities across the UK and Europe and will begin their U.S. leg on June 25, details of which can be found below.
