Pearl Jam's Mike McCready falls off stage mid-solo

He was jammin’ too hard.

Pearl Jam’s guitarist Mike McCready suffered a fall onstage during the band’s sold-out show in Vancouver, Canada last week.

The 58-year-old and his bandmates kicked off their hotly-anticipated “Dark Matter” tour earlier this month, but their May 4 gig wasn’t without drama.

Around two-thirds of the way through their 25-song set list, McCready appeared to be feeling the music too much as he plummeted from the stage during his solo.

In footage shared by a fan in the audience, the musician can be seen taking a tumble from the stage — leaving his Gibson Les Paul guitar up in the air.

Of course, McCready didn’t let the fall ruin his solo as he continued to play it even from the ground.

Moments later, a security guard rushed over to help the rocker return to the stage.

Luckily, McCready appeared unscathed by the incident as he flashed a smile and carried on like nothing happened.

Fans took to social media to give props to the rocker for not skipping a beat.

“A true professional,” one fan wrote on X, while another added, “Didn’t miss a chord.”

The band is taking their new record “Dark Matter” on the road for their summer tour that is sure to send the grunge rockers to arenas all over North America.

That includes a pair of back-to-back concerts at New York City’s Madison Square Garden on Tuesday, Sept. 3 and Wednesday, Sept. 4.

Before rocking out in the US, the band will take the tour to Ireland, UK, Germany, Spain, and Portugal.

They’ll wrap up their globe-trotting gig in New Zealand and Australia in November.

The 2017 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees dropped their 12th studio album “Dark Matter” in April.

At the time, the band shared their excitement to tour with the new record.

“We still care about putting something out there that is meaningful,” Vedder shared in a press release. “No hyperbole, I think this is our best work.”

The 25-song-strong set list features 9 songs from the new album.

Although the tour centers around “Dark Matter,” the band works all the hits like “Jeremy,” “Better Man” and “Even Flow” into their encore-heavy shows.
