Much like recent accidental stage divers Tim McGraw, Thomas Rhett and Granger Smith, Jennifer Nettles took a nasty tumble off stage on Thursday (May 4) at NYC’s Hammerstein Ballroom as she was getting ready to perform as part of a Time Inc. presentation.
Jennifer was rushed to a nearby hospital via ambulance where she was diagnosed with a broken rib. Evidently, the fall didn’t hurt the 42-year-old singer’s sense of humor. Jennifer has posted a number of entertaining tweets over the past couple of days.
Check ’em out below . . . and get well soon, J-Nett.
Hi loves. Thanks for all your kind wishes. Broken rib and banged up, but grateful. Maybe slowly moving for a bit. But I’ll rally

3.Happy they exist when needed, but if I ever get addicted to something, it will NOT be prescription narcotics. #hatesideeffects

4.It’s a good thing I broke my rib & not my vagina bc apparently, w/all this health care talk, having a vagina is a pre-existing condition.

5.Any responses I get to the word “vagina” will tell me a lot about you.
