Harry Styles Hit in the Groin and 8 Other On-Stage Accidents

Feb. 28, 2013— -- intro: One Direction's concert in Glasgow, Scotland, on Tuesday was interrupted when Harry Styles got hit in the groin -- by a flying shoe.

According to the U.K. paper The Independent, the group had just finished performing the song "Last First Kiss" when a flying object landed onstage. Styles picked it up and showed it to the audience, saying, "It's a shoe." Then, another shoe came flying toward him, hitting him squarely in the crotch. It didn't look like it had hit him that hard, but Styles doubled over and then lay down on the stage.

When Styles got up, he appeared flustered and failed to answer a question someone asked him. Bandmate Liam Payne excused Styles, saying, "Well, he has just been assaulted."

Believe it or not, this isn't the first time that Styles has been clobbered in the crotch by a piece of footwear. The Independent reported that last April, while onstage in Australia, he was also nailed in the groin by what appeared to be a shoe.

Styles may want to think about wearing a cup the next time he goes onstage. Maybe 1D's new charity single shouldn't have included part of a song called "Teenage Kicks."

Last October, Gaga vomited on stage in Barcelona, bending over a barrier several times while performing "Edge of Glory." She gamely righted herself and continued her routine like a pro, tweeting later, "SPAIN, you took the p*** outta me. Thats some hard bodied pop stuff."

This isn't the first time Gaga, 26, has gotten sick mid-performance. This summer, she had to duck off stage in Romania. When she returned, she told the crowd, "I went backstage and vomited, and I did not want you to see this … It happens to me sometimes."media: 17423989

quicklist: 2title: Justin Biebertext: Gaga isn't the only pop star to get sick on stage. Justin Bieber fans gave fans a little more than what they bargained for last September when he vomited twice on stage during a concert in Glendale, Ariz. Video of the incident made its way around Twitter and YouTube following the concert, the first stop on his highly anticipated "Believe" tour.

While singing "Out of Town Girl," Bieber turned his back to the crowd and hunched over before quickly exiting. Luckily for the more than 18,000 fans in attendance, the 18-year-old pop sensation returned to the stage and the show went on without a hitch. He even did an encore.

"It's hard for me, you know, not feeling great and throwing up in front of a bunch of people," the Biebs told the crowd, according to USA Today. "Will you love me even though I'm throwing up on stage? OK, I wanted to give you my best show ever, so do you mind if I finish it?"

After the show, Bieber tweeted "Great show. Getting better for tomorrow's show!!!! Love u." He showed a sense of humor about the whole thing too, tweeting, "Milk was a bad choice!" (a nod to the Will Ferrell comedy "Anchorman").media: 17423941

quicklist: 3title: Scotty McCreerytext: Country singer Scotty McCreery learned all too well that the show must go on after falling from a stage during a concert last August in New York.

The "American Idol" winner was opening for Brad Paisley when he tumbled into the crowd during his rendition of Travis Tritt's "T-R-O-U-B-L-E." Fortunately the only thing bruised was McCreery's ego. The 19-year-old singer did not miss a beat, hopping back up on stage to continue the show.

He even posted video of his on-stage mishap on Twitter and joked that Paisley was to blame for the fall, tweeting, "He narrowed up the stage on me for my last song."

Scotty later tweeted, "@BradPaisley didn't really prank me tonight y'all! Hahah. I just drifted on off the stage. Guess I wouldn't make a good Olympic balance beamer.…"

For the tour's next gig, Paisley, a known prankster, seized on McCreery's embarrassing moment, marking the stage with orange traffic cones and yellow tape to prevent a repeat accident. media: 17002493

"I just peed my pants! Oh ship!" she exclaimed. She tried to use her dress to mop up the spot where she had her accident until someone brought her paper towels. Doubled over with laughter, her brother Donny Osmond told the audience, "We promised you an experience. You got it!"media: 16542370

She was immediately rushed to the hospital, where she later tweeted, "I am so so so sorry to end the show that way. I am embarrassed and very sorry. Getting x-rays. I hope it at least looked cool!!!"

quicklist: 6title: Steven Tyler text: "Love in an Elevator" just does something weird to Steve Tyler. In 2009, Tyler, the Aerosmith frontman, fell off stage while performing the song in South Dakota and had to be airlifted to a local hospital with minor head, neck and shoulder injuries.

The following year, it happened again in Toronto. Fortunately for Tyler, he emerged unscathed the second time around and was helped back on stage by fans and Aerosmith guitarist Joe Perry. Living it up when he's going down, indeed.media: 16542408

quicklist: 7title: Jimmy Buffetttext: Jimmy Buffett's 2011 fall off a concert stage in Sydney, Australia, was made all the more ominous by the line he sang before taking a tumble: "It's been a lovely cruise, I'm sorry it's ended."

Luckily, that wasn't last call for the "Margaritaville" singer. Buffett spent a night in the hospital after being knocked unconscious and was released the following day in good spirits, according to hospital staff. media: 16542380

quicklist: 8title: Bret Michaelstext: Bret Michaels took a blow to the head while performing at the 2009 Tony Awards. As the Poison frontman walked off stage, he was hit by a piece of scenery that knocked him to the ground.

Photos of his fractured nose and busted lip went viral online, and Michaels later sued the Tonys, claiming that the accident forced him to cancel scheduled Poison concerts and contributed to a life-threatening brain hemorrhage he suffered 10 months later.

Last May, Michaels settled with the Tonys and other parties named in the lawsuit for an undisclosed sum of money. media: 16542338
