8 Celebs Who Had Toilet Accidents On Stage

From Joe Jonas to Fergie and Kelly Clarkson to Ed Sheeran to Kevin Hart, these celebs have had some pretty bad accidents
If you have to go, you have to go — and unfortunately, for some celebrities, that happens in the middle of a stage performance. When nature calls at an inconvenient time, they have a split second to decide what to do. They can either abandon the entire performance or reconcile the fact that they may need to relieve themselves immediately. Thankfully, while it might be incredibly awkward in the moment, these stars get to look back on the moment and laugh later.
Find out what happened to these celebs on stage…
I looked these people in the face. I said, “Fuck it.” I was wearing something like a little trench coat and wrapped it around my waist, and after I wrapped it around my waist, I said, “There it is!”
1. Joe Jonas
Joe Jonas once had an accident on stage with his brothers during a performance. Looking back on the 2019 incident, Joe says when he realized he had wet his pantsHe ran off to quickly change his wardrobe. Although he thought a lot of people would notice, it turns out nobody really knew what was happening.
“Let’s just say it was a bad day to choose to wear white clothes. You think it might have been a little bit too much, it might have been something different, a little bit more,” he shared, adding, “It was an easy one, it wasn’t too crowded so I got to tell the story.”
He continued, “The whole time I thought, ‘This is definitely the way anyone can see this and know what’s happening, but it was all just in my head. It wasn’t as big a deal as I thought. But that’s life. This has happened to many artists. I feel like I’ve done my part and I feel like I’m part of a secret club now.”

2. Kelly Clarkson
Kelly Clarkson says she found herself in a bad position after some food didn’t taste good during a performance. She ended up almost peeing her pants on stage, and when she got the chance to run away while quickly changing, she let it loose in a trash can.
“Somehow the food broke me. We were in an arena – and I’m not supposed to tell that story, but like I said, man, I don’t have a filter… I had to run backstage for my loose change. I grabbed this poor trash can and boy did I destroy it. It was bad. It was bad…but I’m just saying it happens. What should one do?” she continued The Kelly Clarkson Show.
I actually once misjudged a fart on stage that ended up being a joke.
3.Kevin Hart
Kevin Hart was scheduled to play a sold-out show in Norway when he was unwell. He says he went to the bathroom about an hour before the show started, hoping to get everything out of his body by the time he was supposed to take the stage. Once he performed, his illness was sidelined until the show’s final seven minutes.
“I’m starting to rush through the phase… It got to a point where I said there was no way I could do it. If I take a step, it will happen, and I’ve made a decision. I looked these people in the face. I said, ‘Fuck it.’ I was wearing something like a little trench coat and wrapped it around my waist, and after I wrapped it around my waist, I said, “There he is!” and I finished the show,” Kevin continued Hard to heart.

4. Fergie
In 2005, Fergie was performing with the Black Eyed Peas when her pants got wet on stage. Reflecting on the incident years later, she says it was “the most unattractive moment” of her life. It all happened because the group was stuck in traffic and was late for the show. When they arrived, she had to go on stage immediately.
“I keep running and we’re jumping and doing ‘Let’s Get It Started’ and I’m going crazy and jumping and running across the stage and my adrenaline is pumping and my goodness. I wish it hadn’t happened… It was so embarrassing!” she divided.

5. Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran freely admits that he farts all the time on stage, but for once it was something more. The musician says he “dropped out” mid-performance and was forced to stand still for the rest of the show.
“In fact, I once misjudged a fart on stage, which ended up being a joke. It was like in the middle of a performance and I was really lively and in the middle of the game I was like, ‘I’m just going to stand there for the rest of this performance and hope it’s over soon’ and then go home and throw these pants away,” he said divided. “I flew from London to Tokyo, to Sydney and to England in about three days and it just upset me and I was very sick.”
But the audience looked at me funny. It had leaked and my pants were completely wet.
6.Hugh Jackman
When Hugh Jackman starred Beauty and the Beast On Broadway he had an unfortunate stage accident. Hugh had previously been told by a doctor that he was dehydrated and started drinking a lot of water. He went to the bathroom just before taking the stage, but not long after that he felt the need to go there again.
“I had just gone to the bathroom, but as I was waiting backstage I was like, ‘Damn, I have to go again.’ “I was like, ‘I’m fine,'” he said divided – but says he realized by the end of his big duet that he wouldn’t be able to keep it up. “I thought… ‘If I sing that note, I’ll pee my pants; if not, I will be humiliated.’ The actor in me took control. I was singing and I was like, ‘Wow, I’m peeing my pants.’”
He added: “When I was done, I immediately rolled up and looked down and couldn’t see anything. I thought those red tights must be waterproof.

7. Chris Brown
When Chris Brown was on tour as a teenager, he says he suffered from bad food poisoning. He decided to continue the show anyway and eventually ended up on the stage. Luckily there was a costume change coming up, so he was able to run off the stage quickly.
“I just remember dancing in the middle of it all and being on stage, I… is it like it’s broken? The audience didn’t know, and I felt like an outfit change was coming, so I said, ‘Yeah, I can last one more song,’ and that’s really gross and too descriptive, it was just…I just remember it running down my leg,” he said MTV.
8. Patti LaBelle
Patti LaBelle once performed at an open air concert where there was no toilet nearby. She says she realized mid-show she had to leave, so her barber grabbed a bucket and she ran offstage to pee. In addition, she continued to perform on the road!
“I used a bucket! Nobody knew. They thought I was going back to change,” she said Access Hollywood. “‘[I] Kept the song going after that, honey! I kept singing, the band played and Patti did her thing.”
