Brad Paisley is recovering after he tripped on stage and took a tumble during a concert in South Carolina.

Spokeswoman Darlene Bieber said in a news release that the country star was singing his encore finale - "Alcohol" - when he fell Saturday (March 6) night, but he got back up and finished his show. He was checked out at a Charleston hospital and released early Sunday morning.

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

The 37-year-old kept fans updated with several tweets on the Web site, quipping that doctors told him he "was a very brave boy."

Paisley, a native of West Virginia, was performing in Charleston to promote his latest album, "American Saturday Night."

Snoop Dogg can re-apply for a U.K. visa after two immigration judges decided that the border authorities were wrong to deny the rapper entry into the country.

He was denied a U.K. tour visa in 2007, when he was due to play British shows with Diddy, but got the ban lifted in 2008. The U.K. Border Agency challenged the lifting of the band and the case went to an Asylum and Immigration Tribunal.

There is no guarantee that Snoop Dogg will be able to secure a visa. The original ban followed the arrest of the rapper in 2006 after a brawl at Heathrow Airport involving his entourage.

The U.K. Border Agency said it was "disappointed" by the latest decision and will consider an appeal.

In accepting the president's award at the 2010 BMI Latin Awards, Colombian star Juanes forwent the pomp and circumstance usually associated with these events in favor of a more subtle, introspected celebration.

"Like all my colleagues here, I've been writing ever since I can remember," said Juanes, who took the stage with five members of his band.

"It's a pleasure to share this moment with all of you," he added, before going into understated, acoustic renditions of his hits which rendered the music in a different, sometimes more beautiful light.
