Singer Angela Chang briefly stops concert for medical treatment, returns to finish show
The 44-year-old Taiwanese singer, who has a history of heart problems, was given oxygen after feeling unwell during the concert in Chengdu. She later said her heavy carousel-themed costume may have put too much strain on her heart.
Taiwanese singer Angela Chang, 44, experienced a sudden health scare during her concert in Chengdu, China on August 23. The heavy carousel-themed costume she wore may have put strain on her heart, leading to her feeling unwell mid-performance of her 2007 hit song Doesn't Hurt. Fans noticed Chang tugging at her collar and skirt, and it appeared her condition worsened as she was taken off stage by medical staff.
The concert was briefly halted, with Chang visible on stage suffering from labored breathing. She was given oxygen and medical attention, including blood pressure monitoring and a nasal oxygen cannula. Chang tearfully appeared on the venue's screen, apologizing for the interruption and assuring fans she would rest for three minutes.
After a short break, she returned to the stage to finish her performance. Chang later revealed the heavy costume and hot weather likely contributed to her heart strain. Diagnosed with mitral valve prolapse in 2008, she had previously taken time off to seek medical treatment in Canada. Following the concert, Chang posted on Weibo to thank medical staff for their quick response and assure fans everything was fine. She is set to perform in Guiyang on August 29.
