Beyoncé Suffers Audio Malfunction on Stage While Performing 'Alien Superstar'
The musical legend suffered an audio issue during her recent concert.
Beyoncé paused her latest Renaissance World Tour show for 10 minutes after her audio suddenly cut out.
Fans at her Thursday night show in Glendale, Arizona, and the fan account Beyoncé Legion, said the "entire sound system failed" as she performed "Alien Superstar," which ironically begins with lyrics including, "The DJ booth is conducting a troubleshoot test of the entire system."

"Beyoncé and her dancers have left the stage," wrote the fan account on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, alongside a picture of an empty stage.
The moment the sound cut out was also captured on video, at which point the crowd collectively gasped and yelled.

I am at Beyonce in Phoenix and the music cut out. Not ONE dancer stopped. They kept going until they were told to stop. This is the shit we train for. I’m so proud of them and hoping their teachers see this tweet. #Beyonce

Beyoncé’s next show is in Paradise, Nevada, on Saturday. The Renaissance World Tour began back in May and currently has plans to run through October. A slew of stars, including Vice President Kamala Harris, Madonna, Oprah Winfrey, Gayle King, Tom Holland, Zendaya, and many more have attended the shows.
Queen Bey's 11-year-old daughter Blue Ivy Carter has been a tour highlight, regularly showing off her dance moves to the delight of the crowd.
