When fans reference an artist “blowing the roof off the joint,” they hardly mean it literally. But for concert-goers at Brothers Osborne’s show in Boise, ID, the saying couldn’t have been any more real.

The CMA Vocal Duo of the Year winners were performing their No.1 hit “Stay A Little Longer” in the legendary Egyptian Theater when the roof literally started falling on them and their audience.

“Boise! Had a blast tonight… We had an encore worked up for y’all but the house literally started coming down,” the BROS wrote, along with a video of the ceiling hitting the stage, on Instagram after the show. “Can’t wait to come back!”

Their opening act (and John Osborne’s wife) Lucie Silvas also tweeted her support for the building-breaking duo.
“@brothersosborne took ‘blowing the roof off the place’ to a new level tonight… Metaphorically and actually! The roof started falling down!”

Thankfully, no one was hurt in the incident. The Egyptian Theater is a historical landmark in Boise and was opened in 1927. It was most recently remodeled in 1999.
