LeAnn Rimes is finding humor amidst the chaos after an unexpected dental incident during her performance.
The beloved country-pop artist made a surprising exit from the stage while performing in Washington after her front dental bridge unexpectedly dislodged. This unexpected event transpired while Rimes was passionately singing her iconic 1996 hit “One Way Ticket” at The Skagit Casino Resort. The visibly flustered Rimes had to rush offstage to manage the situation, showcasing her ability to handle unexpected challenges in real-time.
“I felt something pop in my mouth,” Rimes candidly shared in a video she posted on Instagram following the show. “For those who know my story, I’ve endured numerous dental surgeries and have a bridge in the front, which fell out right in the middle of my song last night.” This revelation highlights the challenges she has faced regarding her oral health throughout her career.
In a remarkable display of professionalism and resilience, the 42-year-old singer opted not to cancel her performance. Instead, she quickly regrouped, rejoining her band on stage and completing the set while discreetly attempting to reposition her bridge between lyrics. This moment showcased her determination to deliver an unforgettable experience to her audience despite the circumstances.
“I literally was like this, pushing my teeth in,” she recounted, demonstrating the action as she spoke. “‘Can’t Fight the Moonlight,’ my teeth completely fell in my mouth.” This humorous anecdote not only lightened the mood but also highlighted her ability to laugh at herself in the face of adversity.
Despite the unexpected interruption during her performance, Rimes embraced the experience, calling it “the most epic experience ever.” This positive outlook reflects her spirit and ability to turn challenging moments into memorable stories.
“There wasn’t a f—ing thing I could do about it except either walk off or just hold my teeth in and sing, so I just ran with it,” she explained. “The show must go on, even amidst sheer embarrassment. One must be genuine with their audience.” This statement resonates with many performers who strive to connect with their fans on a personal level.
Rimes has been candid about her ongoing battles with dental health, detailing her journey through 29 surgeries due to past botched dental work. In 2013, she filed a malpractice lawsuit against her former dentist, citing chronic pain and complications resulting from failed veneers, illustrating the serious nature of her dental issues.
In her Instagram update, she humorously warned the front row of the second show at the same venue to be prepared: “If you catch them, please return them.” This lighthearted comment reflects her personality and ability to maintain a sense of humor even in challenging situations.
Currently, Rimes mentioned that her teeth are “in for now,” adding that the entire experience serves as an unforgettable reminder that anything can happen during a live performance. The only option is to approach it with humor and honesty, reinforcing her relatable nature as an artist.
