There should be a hole on the knob with a set screw in it. Just tighten it up.

It's not the end of the world either.

+1 or the screw. If it doesn't have a screw (slide on) you may have to buy another knob. The tone will still work until you do that.

If its just the control know, then you buy another knob. Technically, its just cosmetic.

If its the actual dial, then you buy a new one and solder the wires in place. A guitar tech will do it for £10 probably.

Geez, remain calm and keep breathing. Did you even look at the knob and try to figure out how to replace it before posting? It either presses back on (5 seconds of work) or uses a set screw (which is immediately visible when you look at the knob).

If it's a push on the metal post thing might have been pressed together, just put a flat object in the slot and pry it farther open so the metal knob fits snuggly on it.
