If there is one thing that Beyoncé is known for, it’s putting on a show, but as she soared above her concert crowd in a flying Cadillac in Houston, a malfunction caused her to halt proceedings.

Fans were enjoying a live rendition of the singer’s country song 16 Carriages, when her flying Cadillac prop began to malfunction, and she shouted to stop the show.

The malfunction wouldn’t have been so scary had it not been so high up, and the singer was left clinging to a thin flagpole for support.

Luckily, the superstar singer was rescued safely from the voyage in the sky, but it left fans marvelling at the poise and bravery the singer showed to prevent mass panic.

Houston, we have a problem…

Members of the Beyhive were treated to a spectacular show by the singing superstar celebrity, Beyoncé, in Houston, on Saturday night, but her hit country ballad 16 Carriages was cut short by a malfunction.

During the song, Beyoncé soars over the concert crowd on a flying red Cadillac, but in this case, the 43-year-old singer yelled “Stop! Stop, stop, stop, stop!” when fans realized that the flying car had begun to tilt.

The singer was left desperately clinging to the flying Cadillac’s flagpole with a tense, forced smile on her face as she awaited rescue.

What malfunction caused the flying Cadillac to scare Beyoncé?

Beyoncé was slowly brought back down to earth, smiling and waving to her fans and making sure that they weren’t scared and didn’t cause mass panic.

All that the singer’s company had to say on the cause of the prop malfunction was that there was a “technical mishap”.

Fans and the public alike praised the singer for keeping her cool and not panicking her fans, even though she was clearly worried.

Despite the fact that no one was injured, we expect that, in the words of Queen Bee herself, “someone’s getting fired.”
