Several months back, U2 lead singer Bono took a bad spill while bicycling through New York's Central Park, ending up with a broken arm.

Last night, it was the band's famed guitarist The Edge who took a tumble off the stage during a concert held at Vancouver's Rogers Arena. THE FALL was captured on a film by a concert-goer who shared the footage on Instagram. Check it out below!

Formed in 1976, U2 consists of Bono (vocals and guitar), The Edge (guitar, keyboards, and vocals), Adam Clayton (bass guitar), and Larry Mullen Jr. (drums and percussion).

Their 1987 albums include 1987's The Joshua Tree and 1991's Achtung Baby. U2 maintained their popularity in the 2000s with the records All That You Can't Leave Behind (2000) and How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb (2004). Their U2 360° Tour from 2009-2011 was the highest-attended and highest-grossing concert tour in history.

U2 have released 13 studio albums and are one of the world's best-selling music artists of all time, having sold more than 150 million records worldwide. They have won 22 Grammy Awards, more than any other band; and, in 2005, were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in their first year of eligibility. Rolling Stone ranked U2 at number 22 in its list of the "100 Greatest Artists of All Time", and labelled them the "Biggest Band in the World". Throughout their career, as a band and as individuals, they have campaigned for human rights and philanthropic causes, including Amnesty International, the ONE/DATA campaigns,Product Red, and The Edge's Music Rising.
