- She decided to continue the show, leveling with the crowd and holding her teeth in for the second half
Fans in the audience during Lee Ann Rimes’ concert at the Skagit Casino Resort in Bow, Wash. last Friday got a scare when the country star ran off stage in the middle of her hit, “I Need You.” It wasn’t a health emergency, though, but a dental one. Her bridge fell out.
“I feel something pop in my mouth,” she said in a video posted to her Instagram. “And if you’ve been around, you know I’ve had a lot of dental surgeries and I have a bridge in the front and it fell out in the middle of my song last night.”
The 42-year-old desperately tried refastening the bridge in the wings of the Pacific Showroom stage, but it was no use. Realizing she would either have to cancel the show and disappoint 460 of her fans or treat them to the most unusual Lee Ann Rimes concert ever, she decided to go back on stage and tell the crowd exactly what was up.
She Told the Tooth
“The show can go on, even amid sheer, utter embarrassment,” Rimes said. “You just gotta be real with people.”
For the next hour or so, Rimes said, she completed her gig while pushing her fake teeth back into her head “every couple of lines.”
Like, ‘Can’t Fight the Moonlight,” [the teeth] completely fell in my mouth,” she recalled, blaming the hit’s plethora of “th” sounds she never noticed before.
“I don’t usually have firsts in my career,” Rimes said. “That was a first … and hopefully a last.”
The Skagit is owned and operated by the Upper Skagit Indian Tribe, who opened the $29 million casino resort in 1995 as Harrah’s Skagit Valley Casino. When the tribe’s management agreement with Harrah’s Entertainment ended in November 1998, they renamed the property.
