Lea Salonga Shows Originally Scheduled For 13 & 14 Feb At Esplanade
Concert-goers to Broadway singer Lea Salonga’s shows in Singapore as part of her world tour, titled The Human Heart, may have to change their plans — for now.
The shows were originally scheduled on the nights of 13 and 14 Feb at the Esplanade Concert Hall.
However, the singer-actress sustained a leg injury during a recent ski trip in Japan, leading to the cancellation of the shows.
On 21 Jan, ticketing service provider Sistic informed customers of the cancellation via email, while an official statement was also posted on Ms Salonga’s official Twitter account.
Broke her tibia going down a ski slope
On 16 Jan, Ms Salonga had posted a video on her Instagram account explaining she had broken her tibia while going down a ski slope.
She had been in Hokkaido with her family on a ski vacation.
While she had reassured fans then that she would be able to go through with the music tour, her doctor decided she shouldn’t travel for the next few weeks for her leg to heal.
