Lady Gaga and Six More On-Stage Accidents

June 12, 2012 — -- intro: The show must and does go on, as Lady Gaga proved last weekend when she was struck in the head by a pole and kept on rocking during a performance in Auckland, New Zealand.

Gaga briefly left the stage before returning to perform another 16 songs, telling the audience, "I want to apologize, I did hit my head and I think I may have a concussion. But don't you worry, I will finish this show."

Videos of the incident show a male dancer accidentally hitting Gaga in the head with a metal set piece while taking it off the stage. Gaga, who was performing "Judas," briefly staggered and rubbed her head before walking off the stage. She was back a short time later.

Tara Savelo, the singer's make-up artist, tweeted about the incident on Sunday: "Gaga has a concussion but she is going to be okay. She wants u to know she loves u. I'm taking care of her. Can't believe she finished the show."

As music artists know, these on-stage hazards are all part of the show. Click through for six more on-stage mishaps.

quicklist: 1title: Sugarlandtext: Just as Sugarland's Jennifer Nettles and Kristian Bush were about to take the stage at the Indiana State Fair last August, a powerful storm blew through the area and a huge gust of wind ripped down the stage scaffolding. Seven people that were killed, dozens more were injured. Numerous victims of the stage collapse filed a massive civil lawsuit on Nov. 22 claiming Sugarland and the companies involved with the construction of the stage were negligent and contributed to the accident. Sugarland has denied all accusations against the band, saying it had nothing to do with the stage's construction. In a statement to ABC News in February, Sugarland's manager Gail Gellman said, "Sadly when a tragedy occurs, people want to point fingers and try to sensationalize the disaster. The single most important thing to Sugarland, are their fans."media: 16542327
