Brad Paisley is recovering after he tripped on stage and took a tumble during a concert in Charleston, S.C., The Associated Press reports.

Paisley, 37, was left with only some bad bruises, but he wrote on his Twitter page that he "hit hard. And I mean freaking hard."

The singer kept fans updated with several tweets on the Web site, quipping that doctors told him he "was a very brave boy." Paisley's latest album is "American Saturday Night."
