Beyonce suffered a stage malfunction during her On The Run II tour with husband Jay Z at a concert in Warsaw, Poland.

Fans shared video of the moment she appeared to lose her balance during a cover of Ed Sheeran's "Perfect", as the "flying stage" suddenly stopped as it moved across the stadium.

Jay Z was seen quickly reaching out to steady her, and pair were then helped down a ladder by crew members as the end credits rolled on a giant screen behind them.

While she didn't seem keen on the idea of climbing down in her high-heeled PVC boots - in front of thousands of people - Beyonce handled the incident with more style than most would have managed.

There were cheers of support as she arrived safely back on the main stage and walked off with some classic swagger.

Beyonce recently released a surprise album with her Jay Z, marking their first collaboration on an LP.

Everything Is Love was released in June and received mostly-positive reviews from critics. The On The Run II tour is set to continue until 4 October 2018.
