Country music star Morgan Wallen suffered a bit of a mishap on stage this week after taking a hard tumble during a performance.

The singer, 29, is currently on his 'One Thing At A Time' tour and was performing in Louisville on Thurday night.

He was mid-way through singing his and Diplo's song 'Heartless' as he strode confidently down the stage towards the audience as a smoke machine billowed fog around his feet.

Unfortunately, the fog was to his detriment as Wallen appeared to trip or miss his footing and ended up slamming to the ground.

One fan managed to catch the moment on camera and shared it on TikTok with the caption: "That face made right after".

In the footage, Wallen could be seen walking along before tripping and falling forward and disappearing into the fog, before quickly getting up and making an embarrassed face at his fans.

The tumble didn't stop him for more than a second or two, despite looking like it could have hurt, and he was soon back on his feet to finish the track.

The show in question in Louisville is only the second date on the US leg of his tour, which is set to run until October 2023.

Here's hoping the person in charge of the smoke machine goes easier on it in future...

As well as the tumble, Wallen's gig was also hit with technical issues with the onstage lighting, according to TMZ.

Wallen recently released his third studio album, also called One Thing At A Time, racking up 36 songs including hits such as 'Thinkin' Bout Me' and 'Last Night'.

The music star was also embroiled in controversy in February 2021 after he was caught on camera using the N-word.

The video was recorded by one of his neighbors near his home in Nashville, as the singer went on an expletive-laden rant after a night out.

TMZ shared the footage, which the neighbor began recording as Wallen and his friends were reportedly being loud and honking car horns late at night after arriving back to the house.

After the video went public, Wallen apologised for using the racial slur and said he was "embarrassed" about his behavior.

He said in a statement to ET at the time: "I used an unacceptable and inappropriate racial slur that I wish I could take back.

"There are no excuses to use this type of language, ever. I want to sincerely apologize for using the word. I promise to do better."
