Garbage singer Shirley Manson took a painful tumble off stage at the band’s show in Irvine, California on Saturday (14th May).

The American-Scottish rockers were midway through their performance of their 1998 anthem ‘Special’ when Manson inadvertently fell into the pit.

Incredibly, and testament to her unwavering professionalism, Manson picked herself up and carried on singing barely missing a note.
