‘You Go Down Hard': Luke Bryan Jokingly Blames His Height For His Onstage Falls
Luke Bryan humorously attributes his on-stage falls to his height, dispelling rumors of alcohol involvement, while addressing injuries and back issues from his performances.
Luke made headlines after being captured for his constant on-stage falls during his concerts.

Luke Bryan holds his height responsible for his on-stage falls
On the May 6 episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live, Luke Bryan made his guest appearance on the talk show. However, he was put in a tough spot when the show’s host Jimmy Kimmel asked him about the reasons behind his on-stage falls. The show’s host played a video compilation of Bryan’s falling during his performances.
To his defense the country singer clarified first on his drunk rumors, further blaming the spilled water on the stage as the prime culprit for his on-stage falls. He said that "somebody had gotten some water" adding, “Well, first of all, everybody — you check the comments on the fans talking about the fall, and there’s nine out of 10 comments that point to me being drunk."
Grabbing his "chance to clear the air on this drinking and falling" Bryan further blamed his 6 '2 height, marking that when someone this tall tried to do Michael Jackson’s moves with cowboy boots, then anyone is bound to fall. “I’m 6’2. I’m up there trying to do Michael Jackson moves in too big of a frame, and when you add water to a stage and slick cowboy boots, you go down hard. It’s not alcohol, fans. People are assuming — you can’t just drink a bottle of vodka and go do a two-hour show."

He added, “Even though the content of the songs alludes to drinking. It doesn't mean I spend my whole life [drinking] while working."
