He was injured on some mechanical stairs and shared the footage of the fall with his fans on social media, Daily Record reports.

He wrote: "Hey All, Thank you for all your well wishes! So last night I did have a little accident on stage in Glasgow, where I didn't realise the mechanical stairs had opened behind me.

"A crazy moment which could have been a lot worse but I'm completely fine, a little bit battered and bruised but ok! I'll see y'all back up there tonight. The show must go on. Thanks for all your well wishes. #ReallyFlyingWithoutWings. Love Nicky".

Nicky then said that he was checked out by the staff he posted a picture of his scraped torso. He said: "Checked by the wonderful medics at the hydro - See you all again tonight Scotland.

Fans took to the comments sending him their well wishes.

One wrote: "Omg. Glad you’re okay. Heal well Nicky. Speedy recovery sir x." While another penned: "You are so strong to come back tonight on stage! Be careful please, Take it easy."

Someone else commented: "Hopefully you are on the mend soon, lucky you didn’t do more damage to yourself."

The two concerts are part of Westlife's Wild Dreams tour. The band will belt out some of their classics such as ‘Swear It Again', ‘Flying Without Wings’ and ‘World of our Own’ as well as new anthems from their latest album.
