Tuesday night was an eventful one for Chris Brown and his fans at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey. The R&B star's performance hit a snag when technical difficulties left him suspended in mid-air.
While performing his hit song "Under The Influence," Brown was elevated above the stage by suspension wires. Suddenly, the wires malfunctioned, leaving him hanging above a group of unaware dancers. Despite the unexpected situation, Brown continued to sing, maintaining his composure.
In a video from the concert, Brown can be seen signaling offstage for help, using hand gestures to communicate the issue. The crew acted quickly, bringing out a ladder to assist him. Brown carefully stepped onto the ladder, unhooked himself from the malfunctioning wires, and jumped down to the stage.

Although visibly frustrated, Brown's professionalism shone through. He gave one of his tour workers a stern talking-to, pointing an angry finger as he expressed his displeasure.
However, he didn't let the incident derail the show. After addressing the issue, he returned to his performance and carried on without missing a beat.
