Sir Elton John takes a tumble at tennis event
During the Statoil Masters Tennis event over the weekend, Sir Elton John stood up to shake hands with Martina Hingis and John McEnroe, two of the four players on the team he was coaching at the charity event.
The handshake went well, but as he returned to his seat, things got a bit dicey.
The 67-year-old legend took two other directors chairs down with him as he attempted to brace his fall. The crowd gasped, but he wasn't down for long.
McEnroe jumped right in, helping him back to his feet. Their team also featured Heather Watson and Andy Roddick. On the opposing team, Billie Jean King coached Kim Clijsters, Tim Henman, Sabine Lisicki and Jamie Murray.

Sir Elton wasn't the only one on his team to fall. King's team took the overall 22-16 victory once former British No. 1 Henman defeated Roddick on Sunday.
