Scary moment Coachella singer FACEPLANTS after attempting dangerous backflip onstage

Scary moment Coachella singer FACEPLANTS after attempting dangerous backflip onstage

Singer and songwriter, d4vd, suffered a nasty fall while performing at Coachella after attempting to do a backflip on the Gobi stage in front of thousands. 

While helping kick of the music festival season, which is attended by crowds of nearly 250,000 every April, the 20-year-old New York native ended up faceplanting during a stunt-gone-wrong during his song, Leave Her.

Despite the pain, which left him briefly laying on his back, the musician, who has more than 1.1 million Instagram followers, proved his resilience as he carried on with his set.

After laughing off any embarrᴀssment, d4vd boldly went on to do several more backflips, and even posted footage of his tumble on social media. 

Fans were quick to react to the moment, with many fearing he may have suffered a  concussion or wondering if he would stop attempting such dangerous stunts. 

‘Yikes! That was painful to watch. Wonder if he’s going to rethink keeping that move in the show,’ one X user tweeted.

One bet the singer was ‘seeing stars after that one.’ 

‘I’ve done moves like that a few times in my life,’ another wrote. ‘The embarrᴀssment is worse than the pain… Hope he’s ok.’

‘Saw it on the live feed. In concussion protocol for next week,’ said one active viewer.  

‘OH DEAR GOD,’ one wrote with three sobbing emojis. ‘PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU AIN’T GOT A CONCUSSION.’ 

‘Bro concussed,’ another wrote. One other fan posted, ‘Bro got CTE.’

‘I think i heard ur brain move a little wtf,’ one concerned fan wrote.
