Miguel Kicks Fan In the Head At 2013 Billboard Music Awards [Watch]
May 19th
By Rob Markman
Miguel has spent the year putting out powerful hits, but on Sunday night (May 19) the Kaleidoscope Dream singer may have delivered his biggest one yet at the 2013 Billboard Music Awards.
The spirited performer took the stage at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas to rock his 2012 fan-favorite “Adorn,” with his usual rockstar flair, but at the tail-end of the song a mistimed jumped turned into what looked like a painful accident when Miguel landed on top of two fans.
Just as the tune was winding down, Miguel launched over a pit of fans hoping to clear the crowd and land cleanly on the other side of the stage. Instead he caught a young lady with his right leg, smashing her head into the stage and kicking another in the head with his left leg. Ever the professional Miguel continued to sing, though with a concerned look on his face. “Let my love adorn you,” he belted out.
The rest of the singer’s show went off without a hitch. Dressed in a white suit, Miguel sashayed across the stage sliding his microphone to and fro, while billowing smoke and flashing stage light set a sexy mood.
After the performance Miguel took the girl backstage with him and took to Twitter to let the viewers know that she was alright. “got caught up in the moment, thank goodness Khyati is okay,” he wrote.
