Beyoncé’s concert in her hometown Houston took a short turn on Saturday when the flying red car, With which she hovered over the audience during “16 Carreages”, had a breakdown.
“Stop. Stop, stop, stop, stop”
One of the most important stage elements during the Cowboy Carter Tour shows the singer how she glides over the audience in the floating vehicle and performs the penultimate song of the concert. At the appearance at the NRG Stadium on Saturday, however, the car stopped, tilted and fluctuated, whereupon Beyoncé interrupted the song and the technology team alerted.
“Stop. Stop, Stop, Stop, Stop”, asked her calmly when the music fell silent.
After the car hovered for another minute, it was slowly lowered into a gear on the floor, where Beyoncé exit. After a brief interruption, she returned to the stage and sang the rest of “16 Carreages”. Then she ended the concert with the song “Amen”.
“Thanks for your patience”
“Thanks for your patience,” she said after the breakdown to the crowd (according to Houston Chronicle). “I would like to thank you that you love me. If I ever fall, I know that you are catching me up.”
The technicians have to quickly fix the problem with the flying car, since Beyoncé will also perform at the NRG Stadium in Houston on Sunday.
