LeAnn Rimes Details Losing Teeth on Stage, Delivers the Ultimate 'Show Must Go On' Moment

Country singer LeAnn Rimes had an unexpected dental disaster during a live concert in Washington, but she didn't let it stop the music.

"I feel something pop in my mouth," she shared in a video posted to Instagram the next day. "I have a bridge in the front... it fell out in the middle of my song last night."

According to ENews, known for her strong voice and down-to-earth personality, LeAnn Rimes admitted she did panic a bit during the unexpected moment—but handled it with grace and kept the show going.

"I said, 'Hold on,' ran to the side of the stage, and popped it back in."Despite the hiccup, LeAnn Rimes didn't call it a night. She pushed through and finished the show.

During the concert, LeAnn Rimes had to keep using her finger to hold her dental bridge in place—but she didn't let it slow her down.

By the time she performed "Can't Fight the Moonlight," the dental piece had fallen out again. "It was the most epic example of how the show must go on," she said.

Rather than trying to hide the mishap, Rimes told the audience exactly what was happening. "I had to get real with everybody," she explained. "Or else I would have had to walk off stage."

She kept singing, adjusting her teeth every few lines. In a moment of humor, she joked with the front row: "If you catch them, please return them."
