The incident took place on Saturday (December 13), during a concert at Sydney\u2019s Accor Stadium.\u00a0Fan-shot footage shared online shows Gaga pausing mid-performance after dancer Michael Dameski slid from the stage during \u2018Garden of Eden\u2019.<\/p>\n

Per TMZ<\/a>, the stage at the open-air venue had become slippery due to heavy rainfall.\u00a0Upon noticing the fall, Gaga immediately stopped the concert to check on the Dameski, hugging him and pausing things long enough to help him find shoes with better grip.<\/p>\n

Dameski emerged unscathed, taking to his Instagram story shortly after the concert to share a video of him dancing under an animated rainfall, confirming he had no injuries.<\/p>\n

\u201cHey everyone! I\u2019m ok. Thank you for checking. Happy I was able to finish the last show of the year!\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n

He then added: \u201cThe show must go on!\u201d when sharing a second clip, which showed him performing during the concert.<\/p>\n

NME\u00a0attended one of the London shows of the \u2018Mayhem Ball\u2019, writing in a glowing five star review<\/a>: \u201cFlames begin to flicker on top of the opera house behind her and she leaves the stage for the encore, returning make-up free, in a simple black outfit and beanie over the hair that\u2019s been covered by countless wigs tonight. It\u2019s a nod to the real person behind this artful masterpiece, but also another performance. Like every other that has come before it, though, it\u2019s just perfect.\u201d<\/p>\n

In\u00a0a four-star review of the \u2018Mayhem\u2019 album<\/a>,\u00a0NME\u00a0wrote: \u201cUltimately, \u2018Mayhem\u2019 feels like a great Gaga album because it\u2019s just so much fun. At times, it\u2019s a bit like reconnecting with an old friend who makes sense even when they seem to be chatting nonsense. When she sings \u2018river in my eyes, I\u2019ve got a poem in my throat\u2018 on \u2018LoveDrug\u2019, it\u2019s just her overblown way of saying she\u2019s sad and tongue-tied.<\/p>\n

\u201cSeventeen years after she broke through with \u2018Just Dance\u2019, Lady Gaga remains pop\u2019s foremost agent of impeccably crafted chaos.\u201d<\/p>\n

The album also landed at Number 19 on NME\u2018s 50 Best Songs of 2025<\/a>, with an entry that read: \u201cBefore releasing \u2018Mayhem\u2019, Lady Gaga expressed apprehension about returning to the sound her fans first fell in love with.<\/p>\n

\u201cNaturally, the record was a return to form so assured that all those anxieties dissolved, the self-doubt probed and ultimately drowned out by a flurry of edgy, theatric synth-pop bangers.\u201d<\/p>\n
