what an absolute legend😂 #lukebryan #lukebryanconcert #lukebryanfunny #coastcitycountry #countryconcert #foryou

Luke Bryan was performing at the Coast City Country Festival at BC Place on Saturday when he fell on stage.

While the tumble looked like it really hurt and you could hear the thump on stage in a TikTok video, it was Bryan's reaction that his fans loved.

After his fall, you could see Bryan sitting on the stage laughing.

"Hold up! Did anybody get that?" Bryan asked the crowd once he got up and checked his elbow for bruising.

"My lawyer will be calling."

Bryan then told the crowd he needed to see his fall and asked a fan for their phone.

"Oh, you're Snapchatting. You can't Snapchat this sh*t," he said as the crowd laughed.

The country singer then rewatched his fall multiple times with his fans as the camera zoomed in on the video.

"This is viral," Bryan expressed.

Fans loved how the musician handled the whole situation and shared their thoughts in the comments of the TikTok clip.

"What an absolute legend," the TikTok user who posted the clip wrote in their caption.

"This was my favourite moment from the entire weekend," a person commented.

Bryan's performance at the B.C. country music festival was a stop on his "Mind of a Country Boy Tour."
