Tom Grennan slipped and fell hard on his back while performing at a concert in Birmingham on Thursday, leaving the singer-songwriter in visible pain before reassuring fans that he was all right.

Video of the mishap was posted to TikTok by Grennan, who wrote across the footage, 'You're just about to witness the greatest onstage fall in history,' and added in a caption, '(I’m good btw).'

Among the responses, one viewer wrote, 'Amazing night Tom !!! Never stopped dancing all night hope you’re ok after the fall !!!!' Another said, 'owned this fall! looked so painful, show was amazing, roll on next tour.' Several users expressed concern about the singer's well-being, while others praised his ability to recover and continue performing.
Grennan, who rose to prominence in the UK with a string of charting singles and is known for energetic live shows, resumed the set after the incident, according to fan-posted footage. He later addressed the audience to acknowledge the fall and to reassure fans about his condition.
There was no immediate indication from the performer or his team of a serious injury. The incident drew attention on social platforms both for the severity of the tumble and for Grennan's quick recovery onstage.
