Darius Rucker Takes a Tumble Onstage, Lets an F-Bomb Fly

Darius Rucker Takes a Tumble Onstage, Lets an F-Bomb Fly

Darius Rucker is going to be “Alright” after a quick tumble during his Riverfront Revival set on Saturday (Oct. 12.)

The musical festival is home turf for Rucker, both because he curates the annual Riverfront Revival and because it takes place in his hometown of Charleston, S.C. He and his band Hootie & the Blowfish performed the Saturday night headlining slot.

But things took a brief nosedive — literally — when the singer face-planted onstage in the middle of his 2009 hit “Alright,” a song that came off his first country album.

Rucker kept his cool during the fall. On his way down, he kept singing the song, belting out the line “I got a stereo” as he stumbled and dropped to the floor. He laughed as he recovered, too. “I’m old as f–k,’ yelled 58-year-old Rucker as he bounced back up.

Rucker went on to perform the rest of the song, giggling with the crowd about the slip. “We’ve been doing this all summer. I hadn’t fell once. But I busted my a– in my hometown,” he joked after the song ended.

“…That’s funny f–king s–t,” he added.
