Pop singer Michael Jackson fell to the ground Saturday as he tried to get into a theatre in London, UK, to see a stage production of Billy Elliot reports CBC news.
Security staff forced a path for Jackson, 47, through the admirers and photographers standing outside the theater so he could reach the front door. But the singer fell in the commotion.
Hundreds of fans showed up to get a glimpse of the star, and his security staff had to force a path through the crowd.
Phillip Goldstone, 22, from Walthamstow, east London, said: "We were outside his hotel and there was a rumor that he was coming here, so we came down." Inside the theatre, Gary Dean, 43, from Ramsgate, sat three rows in front of Jackson during the performance.
Jackson's children accompanied him to the show, but their faces were covered as they entered.
During intermission, the singer mingled with theatregoers, chatting and signing autographs.
Jackson was in London to record a song to benefit Hurricane Katrina victims.
