According to People, it’s unknown if Burke will perform in Monday night’s show, but claimed she is “on the mend” and was advised to take the rest of the day off.
“Yesterday, I took a hard fall while rehearsing for #VillainsNight. Woman facepalming It’s one of those things that can happen in a split second,” Burke tweeted.
