CHARLESTON, S.C. — 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 night, but he got back up and finished his show. He was checked out at a Charleston hospital and released early Sunday morning.

Friday night Paisley had performed at the Thompson-Boling Arena in Knoxville.

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."
