Country singer LeAnn Rimes bravely displayed her showmanship when her teeth popped out while performing mid-concert. She addressed the accident in a video uploaded to Instagram, where she warned all of her future concert-goers: “If you catch them, please return them.”
Rimes was performing at the Skagit Casino Resort in Washington when she felt a “pop” while singing her 1996 hit “One Way Ticket.” She said her front dental bridge fell out, and proceeded to run off stage to fix them before completing the rest of the show.

“If you’ve been around, you know I’ve had a lot of dental surgeries and I have a bridge in the front, and it fell out in the middle of my song last night,” Rimes said in her video. She says she attempted to fix them in her mouth but felt them fully fall out when she was singing “Can’t Fight the Moonlight.”
“There wasn’t a f****** thing I could do about it except either walk off or just hold my teeth in and sing, so I just ran with it,” Rimes said. “The show can go on, even in the midst of sheer, utter embarrassment. You just gotta be real with people.”
With a great sense of humor, Rimes joked, “I don’t usually have firsts in my career, but that was a first and hopefully a last.”
Rimes’ next performance will take place in Hawaii on July 12 at the Neal S. Blaisdell Arena. She has scheduled dates across the United States and Australia running until March of next year.
