LeAnn Rimes is addressing an accident on-stage.
The 42-year-old “Can’t Fight the Moonlight” singer spoke out in a post on Instagram on Sunday (June 22) following a concert in Washington.
“We’re going to do a little story time about how the show must go on,” she began. “And this is the most epic example of how the show must go on.”

“So last night, I was on stage in the middle of ‘One Way Ticket,’” she explained. “I feel something pop in my mouth. And if you’ve been around, you know I’ve had a lot of dental surgeries, and I have a bridge in the front. It fell out in the middle of my song last night.”
She said that she “panicked” and stated, “Hold on,” before running to the side of the stage and putting her teeth back into her mouth. She decided it was best to be transparent about the situation and keep the show moving along.
“I just had to get real with everybody and tell them exactly what was happening, or else I would have had to walk off stage,” she added.
LeAnn had to keep using her finger to push the teeth back into place while singing “every couple of lines,” and noted that during “Can’t Fight the Moonlight,” her teeth “completely fell out again.”
“I don’t usually have firsts in my career,” she noted. “That was a first and hopefully a last. I hope my teeth stay in tonight. We shall see.”
“The front row, get ready for something to fly out,” she joked. “If you catch them, please return them.”
LeAnn said she was all about “keeping it real” with her fans.
“And you know, like I said, there wasn’t a f–king thing I could do about it except either walk off or just hold my teeth in,” she revealed. “So, I just ran with it.”
“In case anybody has an issue on stage ever and feels embarrassed by it, just watch this video again and it will remind you that the show can go on in the midst of sheer, utter embarrassment,” she concluded.
She shared another video making light of the situation.
“This song is so fun to sing, even when your bridge (🦷) is hanging on for dear life…nothing more to lose, when you’ve already lost your teeth and dignity on stage 😂#moretolose #miley #backstagesessions,” she captioned a video of herself singing a cover of Miley Cyrus’ “More to Lose” on Monday (June 23).
