Juan Gabriel injured after falling from concert stage

Mexican superstar Juan Gabriel fell while performing Sunday night at Toyota Center, reportedly breaking his wrist and suffering a concussion.
Fans said Juan Gabriel, 55, apparently tripped and fell from the stage just minutes into his opening set and was taken to the hospital to be checked out, according to a Toyota Center statement.
"He came out and he was dancing like he always does," said Concepcion Murawka, 53. Juan Gabriel was wearing his signature heeled shoes, which got tangled on a stage wire just before he fell, Murawka said.
Maria Sabina, 43, who attended the show with Murawka, said she has loved Juan Gabriel's romantic music — and all the music he composes for other singers — her entire life.
"I felt very sad for him," said Sabina, who watched from her 20th-row seat as Juan Gabriel made several spinning turns, lost his balance and fell off the stage. She added that he's "a good person who helps a lot of people in Mexico."
Toyota Center said discussions are under way to reschedule the performance and that tickets for Sunday night's show will be accepted at that concert. A date will be announced soon.
Juan Gabriel, born Alberto Aguilera Valadez in Parácuaro, Michoacán, grew up in extreme poverty in Ciudad Juarez, where he began sing.ing in clubs under the name "Adam Luna." He went to Mexico City to pursue his career as a songwriter, changed his name and recorded his first big hit, No Tengo Dinero, in 1971.
A six-time Grammy nominee, he has sold more than 30 million albums and has been acclaimed as one of the greatest Mexican composers of the late 20th century. More than 200 artists have recorded his songs.
Juan Gabriel has also appeared in Mexican movie musicals including Nobleza Ranchera, Del Otro Lado Del Puerte and Es Mi Vida. Some of his most famous songs include Querida, Te Sigo Amando and Se Me Olvido Otra Vez.
Keep him In your prayers!

Aren't you the one who said the medical center was overrun with "ugly Indians" and you wished they'd all go home?
Momma Taco Loved Juan Gabriel
Let the Latinas in.
Leave the Latinos out.
Do the words "Cheap" and "labour" mean anything to you?
Let me put them together to help you: "Cheap labour".
Damn. I just saw it on tv. It looked ugly!! Poor guy.
Without Mexican immigrants who don't speak much English, who would clean Anglos' houses or do their landscaping?
The video of the fall Is on Univision.com
I'm surprized the guy only had a broken wrist after the way he fell.
Must see video...
I saw that video last night on the news. My wife and I giggled. Tee-hee.
Hope he's okay though.
The video Is all over the news and the web. Poor guy.
He Is In stable condition but per Doctors orders he had to cancel all of his concerts until March of next year. Thank God he didn't fall while he was here at the SBC Center. I went to his concert and It was great!
