Even off-show, things are pretty dramatic in America’s most popular show eh? According to reports, 2 accidents on the stage of “American Idol” happened as they rehearsed prior its live broadcast on Tuesday night. The first incident occurred roughly two hours before showtime where stage manager, Debbie Williams, fell from near the top of the retractable staircase that extends from the set’s second story down to the middle of the main stage. Fox Broadcasting said, “During rehearsal today a crew member had a mishap on set and was immediately taken to the hospital as a precautionary measure.”

The second accident occurred a short time after the first. Ryan Seacrest said at the top of Tuesday night’s show, “We have had an unconventional day. Had a couple of things happen here on this set. Unfortunately we had an accident earlier here on our stage, but it didn’t end there.” Seacrest then pointed to the two giant globe-like “Idol” logos that flank the stage, one of which was hanging nearly upside down. He said it “collapsed” just a few moments before that afternoon’s dress rehearsal, sending shards of glass all over the stage. Jill Hudson, a spokeswoman for Fox, said no one was injured in that incident. Ryan Seacrest continued,

“So the contestants have not had a proper run-through for the show,” he said. “But as they say in Hollywood, the show must go on.”
