Alanis Morissette Falls on Stage at Los Angeles Residency Finale and Keeps Singing in Viral Video
Canadian singer Alanis Morissette performed the final night of her Los Angeles residency on November 11 at the YouTube Theater in Inglewood, Los Angeles County, California. According to Entertainment Weekly, while performing her 1998 song "Uninvited," she was twirling through the song's intense musical break, as she usually does, when her hair seemingly got caught in the microphone stand. The stand toppled and she fell backward onto the stage. Video of the moment was posted to social media and went viral.
Entertainment Weekly reporter Jillian Sederholm was in the audience that night. She noted that Morissette had gone to the floor a few times during the show as part of her performance, but that this landing, right on the mic pack on her back, seemed unintentional. She also nearly knocked into the guitarist next to her, but both appeared unfazed.
Morissette quickly rolled over, got back to her feet and continued head-banging and pumping her fists in the air while a crew member reset the mic stand, and she did not stop performing. According to Page Six, social media users praised her recovery, with one commenting that she "still managed to make it look cool" and another calling her "so graceful."
"Uninvited," from the soundtrack of the 1998 film City of Angels, is a Grammy-winning song and a staple of Morissette's live repertoire. Morissette, 52, is a Grammy Award winner.
The show closed the Los Angeles run of her residency Butterfly with a Machete: A Rock Traumedy, which blends her songs with storytelling and theatrical elements. According to People, the residency is set to resume in Las Vegas on January 1, 2027. Entertainment Weekly said it had reached out to Morissette's representative for comment on the fall and had not yet received a reply at the time of its report.
