Musician Elle King recounted the nasty fall that left her with a concussion and amnesia.
The “Ex’s and Oh’s” singer was forced to pull the plug on her shows last month after she took a tumble down the stairs.
“I can laugh now, because I’m doing a lot better, but it was a very intense thing,” she told Entertainment Tonight.
King revealed the incident occurred when she was on her way to make her son Lucky Levi, 16 months, a bottle of milk in the middle of the night.
“I slipped and knocked myself unconscious,” she recalled. “They said I got amnesia and got post-concussion syndrome.”

“But the baby is totally fine, and I’m doing a lot better,” the 33-year-old said, adding that she was home alone with her son at the time of the fall.
King said she’s been actively doing physical therapy and enjoying “quiet downtime” as she continues to recover.
“What I love about Nashville is the community that I haven’t really had in any of the last multiple cities that I’ve lived in, even if I’ve had a bunch of friends,” she gushed.
“There’s something beautiful about this city and my friends and my music family, they all totally gathered around me and were all so supportive and showed up for me and helped me with the baby.”
King and fiancé Dan Tooker welcomed their son in September 2021 after suffering two miscarriages.
Despite the difficult journey to motherhood, King says it has made her a better person.
“Motherhood has made me a gentler person, a stronger person, someone who tries to be … I’m still working on being less reactive, but I’m happy,” she told People in October, adding that it “will f—ing humble your ass.”
