Bruce Springsteen had to be helped up by staff after suffering a nasty fall during a gig in the Netherlands this week.

The Boss, 73, scared his fans at a gig in Amsterdam, as he took a tumble on stage while singing his song 'Ghosts' with the E Street Band.

Appearing at the Johan Cruyff Arena, he fell over as he tried to walk up the steps while wearing his guitar around his neck.

Bruce missed a step, and landed awkwardly with the crowd gasping.

The 'Dancing in the Dark' star was then lying on his back for a short period, before his bandmates rushed to help him.

At first he struggled to get back to his f eet, but he was able to do so thanks to his colleagues.

Thankfully, he returned with a smile on his face and was met with a round of applause from the crowd. He isn't thought to have been injured.

He jokingly told the crowd: "Goodnight everybody," before continuing the show.
