Security guards rushed over to helped the performer – and he was able to continue afterwards despite cracking a rib and fracturing one of his fingers.
Beto, who it later emerged had fallen around seven feet, was taking part in a concert dubbed the ‘90s pop tour.’
Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl broke his leg after tumbling off a stage during a concert in Sweden in June 2015 but kept on performing.
Madonna famously ended up on the floor when her theatrical cape failed to rip off properly near the beginning of a 2015 Brit Awards performance.
She stood back up to finish the song but later revealed she had hurt her head and suffered slight whiplash after the wardrobe malfunction.
Justin Bieber also suffered a moment similar to that experienced by Beto Cuevas when he failed to notice an open trap door and fell through a hole in the stage in Saskatoon, Canada, last year.
