Fresh off a whopping 11-night concert run in Singapore, legendary Hong Kong singer Jacky Cheung is now halfway through six nights of performances in Malaysia.
However, his third show, which took place last night (13 Aug), created a different kind of buzz when the singer momentarily collapsed onstage.

Despite the accident, it did not take long for the seasoned performer to regain his composure, as he resumed singing almost immediately.
He later revealed that he had dizziness caused by an imbalance of fluid in his ear, which he has suffered from since young.
In various videos shared by concertgoers online, Jacky Cheung was seen descending from a slight incline onstage when he lost his balance and collapsed onstage.

At the time, the 62-year-old was performing his hit song, ‘Zhi Xiang Yi Sheng Gen Ni Zou’ (I Only Want To Be With You For The Rest Of My Life).
Upon collapsing, he stopped singing, but a few seconds was all it took for him to regain balance. As soon as he was back on his feet, he continued the performance without missing a beat.

Ever the seasoned performer, Cheung powered through the rest of the song and finished it on a pitch-perfect note.
In another video captured by a fan, he even bowed apologetically to the audience as the song ended.
Later on in the concert, Cheung took the time to interact with the audience between songs.
He explained that he has been suffering from an imbalance of ear fluid — commonly attributed to Meniere’s Disease — since he was a child.

One of the side effects, he said, is bouts of dizziness, which is what caused his collapse earlier.
He also shared that he experiences the side effects nearly every year. However, this was the first time he had encountered dizziness during a live concert, he claimed.
Just the night before, during his second performance, Kwong Wah Yit Poh reported that the show had been delayed for the first time ever.
While the shows usually start at 8pm sharp, Cheung had to push back the concert by eight minutes due to his condition acting up.
In spite of his discomfort, he decided to persevere and put on an epic show for his fans anyway.
Following the third night of his Malaysian concert, Cheung has flown back to Hong Kong to recuperate, Sin Chew Daily reported.
He hopes to make a full recovery ahead of his final three shows in Malaysia, which will take place from 18 to 20 Aug.
While speaking to the audience onstage, Cheung said that the dizziness will affect his dancing, but not his singing.
To make up for it, he would be cutting back on the dance moves and focusing on his vocals, a change which he hoped his fans can accommodate.
Determined to make light of the situation, Cheung quipped that the dance moves they see from him will be “extra special” as a result.
Furthermore, he told everyone that they should not expect to see so much dancing from him given that he is now in his 60s.
“After all, I am not Aaron Kwok.” he joked.
Kudos to Cheung for being such a professional and shouldering on despite his health troubles.
Now that he is presumably resting well at home, we hope he can recuperate and return to the stage in good health.
