According to eyewitnesses, LaMontagne was in the middle of his set when he suddenly stumbled and fell, prompting his bandmates to rush to his side and call for medical attention.

Luckily, LaMontagne was treated promptly and is expected to make a full recovery.

And let's not forget the infamous groupies who'll do just about anything to get backstage (but that's a whole other story).
