Wang Leehom Falls on Stage in Chengdu, Bleeds from Ear, Returns to Comfort Fans

(Central News Agency reporter Wang Xinyu, Taipei, July 4) Singer Wang Leehom held a concert in Chengdu, China tonight. He reportedly tripped on stage and accidentally missed a step, hitting his head on the stage stairs, causing bleeding from his left cheek and ear. However, he returned to the stage to comfort fans, stating it was only an external injury and "everyone can rest assured."

Wang Leehom's management team stated tonight that he stood up immediately after falling and completed the 3-hour performance. They also believe in the spirit of "falling where you are, you must get up there, and you must get up immediately," like Van Gogh. During his costume change, the medical team provided emergency treatment for his wounds. He will be sent for medical treatment after the performance. The team will thoroughly review the stage and make improvements, and thanks everyone for their concern.

According to videos taken by audience members at the scene, Wang Leehom tripped while performing "Tian Di Long Lin" and preparing to return to the main stage. He fell heavily, with blood appearing on his left cheek and ear. Several staff members rushed forward to check his injuries, but Wang Leehom stood up a few seconds later and completed the performance.

Upon returning to the stage, Wang Leehom said his in-ear monitor was broken, causing his ear to bleed, but it was an external injury and fans did not need to worry. He then jokingly compared his current appearance to a mixed martial arts fighter, saying, "This is the attitude, if you fall, you get up yourself, immediately." The audience responded with enthusiastic applause. Wang Leehom then said, "Being with you all today is the best place in the world, and there's no way I would miss it."
