Alanis Morissette experienced several unexpected onstage mishaps during the final night of her Los Angeles residency on Wednesday.
The 52-year-old singer fell and sent a microphone crashing to the floor during an energetic rendition of her rock song Uninvited at the YouTube Theater.
Video from the concert, obtained by Entertainment Weekly, appeared to show Morissette’s hair catching on the microphone as she spun rapidly, sending her tumbling backward.
She landed on her back and narrowly avoided colliding with her guitarist. Morissette, who also took aim at Ben Affleck during the concert, quickly shook off the fall before launching into a series of intense headbanging moves.
A crew member soon rushed onto the stage to reposition the microphone, allowing the singer to carry on with the performance.
According to the publication, Morissette reportedly “collapsed” several times during the show.

“Yeah, maybe it’s time to calm down,” one fan joked in a comment beneath the video.
Several others pointed out that the singer’s famously energetic stage behavior is nothing unusual for her performances.
“This is actually totally normal for her performances haha. Maybe not the mic falling, but the rest?? Hell yea,” another fan wrote.
“That’s an epic recovery, honestly,” a third commenter added.
At another point in the show, Morissette criticized her Dogma co-star Affleck over alleged comments about her sexuality, years before publicly identifying as pansexual at 52.
The Jagged Little Pill singer directed the remarks at the 54-year-old actor during an explosive segment of her Los Angeles residency, Butterfly with a Machete, which combines music with personal storytelling.
Morissette and Affleck famously appeared together in the 1999 American fantasy comedy Dogma. Affleck played a fallen angel, while Morissette portrayed God. During the concert, she shared a violent clip from the film showing Affleck’s character’s head exploding in the finale as she delivered her pointed remarks.
In footage recorded by a fan, Morissette said: “I’ve even had a guy ask me why I didn’t lead with my sexuality,” before pausing theatrically and adding, “Thank you, Ben Affleck.”

The Daily Mail has contacted representatives for Morissette and Affleck for comment but has not yet received a response.
The remarks came after the singer spoke openly about coming out as pansexual at the age of 52.
Morissette discussed her sexuality during a recent episode of the Handsome podcast, hosted by lesbian comedians Tig Notaro and Fortune Feimster, along with non-binary screenwriter Mae Martin.
While discussing Morissette’s famously angst-filled music, Feimster told her: “I’m sorry for the men that hurt you, but I’m not sorry for the songs that came from it.”
She then asked: “Did it make you want to be a lesbian at any point?”
Morissette replied without hesitation: “I’m pansexual, so yeah.”
Notaro appeared surprised by the revelation and asked: “Wait, you’re not really pansexual, are you?”
“I am,” Morissette replied with a nod, before Martin added: “Me too!”
Pansexuality generally refers to romantic, emotional or sexual attraction to people regardless of their gender identity or sex.
The term is distinct from bisexuality, which generally describes attraction to more than one gender and can include attraction to transgender, non-binary and other gender-nonconforming people.
The Head Over Feet hitmaker typically keeps her private life away from the spotlight, although she has been linked romantically to several high-profile men over the years.
Morissette has also spoken candidly about previously struggling with addictions to love and sex.
Her relationship with Full House actor Dave Coulier famously provided inspiration for her best-selling album Jagged Little Pill.
She later dated actor Dash Mihok and attorney Tom Ballanco. She is now married to rapper Mario “Souleye” Treadway.
The Grammy-winning artist also began dating actor Ryan Reynolds in 2002. The couple were engaged for three years before ending their relationship in 2007.

Reynolds began dating Scarlett Johansson two months after the breakup and married the actress 18 months later. They divorced in 2011, and he went on to marry Blake Lively in 2012.
Morissette married rapper Souleye, whose real name is Mario Treadway, in 2010. The couple have two sons and a daughter, whose ages range from 15 to six.
“There are just so many qualities in him that were slam-dunky,” she said of her husband in an interview with The Sunday Times.
“If I would talk about something on a date, typically the person would look at me quizzically like I was strange. It was the complete opposite with Souleye. He had zero desire to clip my wings.”
