Beyoncé With The Blood Ear: Pop Star Sings Through Gruesome Injury

During last night’s Tidal X charity concert in Brooklyn, Beyoncé ripped her earlobe while performing. Despite the gruesome- and painful-seeming injury, Bey simply touched her ear, inspected her finger for blood, and then—after confirming her wound—continued singing “Haunted” like nothing happened.

It should come as no surprise that Beyoncé is unflappable on stage. In 2004, she appeared nonplussed after her Destiny’s Child bandmate Michelle Williams fell onstage during a performance on 106 N Park.

Earlier this year, her leotard ripped as she was performing “Halo” during her Formation World Tour at Citi Field. She held it together, preventing a major wardrobe malfunction, with such grace that you probably wouldn’t have noticed if you were at the show.

And of course, at the Super Bowl in February Beyoncé nearly stumbled but recovered to finish an otherwise perfect show.
