Septuagenarian rocker Bruce Springsteen had a nasty fall during a show in Amsterdam on Sunday night, coming down flat on his face in front of the audience as he tumbled up a set of stairs.
The acrobatics in the Dutch capital reminded some observers of the fall taken by President Joe Biden a few years back when he similarly defied gravity and fell up a set of aircraft stairs – not once, but twice – while trying to board Air Force One, as Breitbart News reported.

Commentators explained he came down after completing the execution of Ghosts, going from the catwalk to the stage.
The 73-year-old performer reportedly downplayed the matter and later continued playing as did his backing E Street Band musicians who never stopped despite the spectacular fall.
Springsteen was holding a double concert as part of the tour ‘Only the Strong Survive’ which on the evidence proved to be a self-fulfilling prophecy.

The same tour has taken him to Barcelona, Spain, a concert attended by the Obamas (Barack and Michelle), Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg and whose photos in restaurants in Barcelona went viral on Twitter.
