We were surprised to see Madonna take a tumble at the Brit Awards - after all, she's no stranger to the stage.

At the time, the singer blamed her Armani cape for the fall, claiming that it was tied on too tightly to get off.

"Everybody was worried that my cape was going to slide off because it's quite heavy, so they tied it really tight around my neck," Madonna explained. "So here I am marching in like a queen, and I got to the top of the stairs and I pulled my silky string, and it would not come undone. And my two lovely Japanese dancers basically strangled me off the stage. I had a choice: I could either be strangled or fall with the cape, and I fell."

Madonna added that she'd "fallen off her horse" many times, but this was particularly concerning as she'd smacked the back of her head.

"I had a man standing over me with a flashlight until about 3am to make sure I was compos mentis," the singer added.

Giorgio Armani on the other hand, is having none of Madonna's explanation - and probably rightly so when you hear his side of the story.

"The cape had a hook and she wanted a tie, and she wasn't able to open it with her hands," said Armani. "That's all there is to it. Madonna, as we all know, is very difficult."

A representative for Madonna refused to be drawn in, telling the New York Post: "Shit happens. Madonna loves Giorgio Armani."
