Bumble v Freddie: Andrew 'Elvis' Flintoff trips after winning sing-off
Saturday 2 September 2017 21:54, UK
Andrew Flintoff was 'All Shook Up' after taking a tumble while performing as Elvis on NatWest T20 Finals Day.
Flintoff hit the turf in spectacular fashion while tripping up over a speaker while walking backwards, performing 'Sweet Caroline' as a duet with David 'Bumble' Lloyd.
Click on the video above to watch the comical moment, which occurred as the pair entertained the crowds at Edgbaston on NatWest T20 Blast Finals Day ahead of the final between Birmingham Bears and Notts Outlaws.
Try as he might to shrug it off, the plunge was a swift fall from Graceland after Flintoff edged the 'Great British Sing Off' - the panel voting 2-1 in his favour over Bumble as the combined force of Rob Key and Alfred the Gorilla - winner of the Mascot Race - outweighed the verdict of Nasser Hussain.
Flintoff, resplendent in complete Elvis costume, belted out a rendition of 'Suspicious Minds' which was notable for its particularly off-key moments and irregular cadences.
He had a tough act to follow, in all fairness, after Bumble wowed the crowd into silence with his gravely rendition of 'Folsom Prison Blues'.
