“Get Down Tonight!”
Grammy Winning Pop Legend KC Falls From Stage
Boogie Shoes Blamed

(Los Angeles, CA) Grammy winning pop legend KC of KC and the Sunshine Band is recovering today in his Miami home after taking a dive off the stage while performing at the Cinco De Mayo Festival in Phoenix, AZ on May 7th. The singer, best known for his chart-topping hits from the ‘70’s (“Get Down Tonight,” “(That’s The Way) I Like It” and “(Shake, Shake, Shake) Shake Your Booty,) was performing in front of an estimated 5,000 people when the accident occurred.

KC blames his “ boogie shoes” for the fall. Two songs into his 75 minute set, KC fell head first onto the concrete and six feet below the stage at the outdoor arena. Ironically, it occurred as KC began singing his classic hit “Boogie Shoes.” “I left my shoes at the hotel and had to perform in a new pair” he lamented. “I picked the wrong pair of Boogie Shoes!”

After quickly receiving some first aid backstage, the singer resumed his performance and sought medical attention afterwards at a local hospital, receiving six stitches over his right eye, and treatment for a knee sprain and various bumps and bruises.

The show must go on, though. KC, 54, will continue his tour with his Sunshine Band, with stops in Winter Haven, FL on May 13 and Atlanta, GA on May 14.
