During her Mayhem Ball Tour stop at Sydney’s Accor Stadium on Saturday night (December 13), Lady Gaga abruptly stopped her performance after dancer Michael Dameski slipped off the stage, made slick by a heavy rainstorm at the outdoor venue. In a fan-shot video of the incident, Gaga quickly paused the show to check on him, earning applause from the audience, before announcing, “If you could just give us five minutes, I just wanna get some proper grooves on the shoes of the dancers.” Dameski later confirmed on a series of Instagram Stories that he was uninjured after the fall, writing, “Hey everyone! I’m ok. Thank you for checking. Happy I was able to finish the last show of the year!” Gaga’s Sydney concerts marked the final 2025 dates for her Mayhem Ball Tour, which grossed $166.2 million while drawing over 700,000 fans during 35 shows, with the tour set to resume in Tokyo in January 2026.
