Brad Paisley sure knows how to make an exit. Last night he wrapped up his American Saturday Night Tour in Charleston, SC at the Charleston Coliseum. On the final note of his encore song, “Alcohol,” Brad took a spill onstage, quickly bouncing back up, finishing the show and thanking the audience, like a pro.
