Staff members were also seen massaging one of her hands and fanning her.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-primary font-tertiary-body-baseline-regular\" data-testid=\"article-paragraph-annotation-test-id\">Chang could be seen on a large screen tearing up, with the screen subsequently displaying the message: \u201cI\u2019m sorry, please give me three minutes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-primary font-tertiary-body-baseline-regular\" data-testid=\"article-paragraph-annotation-test-id\">Audience members told Chinese media that the singer returned to the stage after a brief rest and performed songs such as Invisible Wings (2006) and Big Kid (2025).<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-primary font-tertiary-body-baseline-regular\" data-testid=\"article-paragraph-annotation-test-id\">Chang later explained to her fans at the concert that she had begun to feel her heart struggling to cope when she changed into her heavy costume outfit.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-primary font-tertiary-body-baseline-regular\" data-testid=\"article-paragraph-annotation-test-id\">\u201cIt may have been due to the weather or the weight of the costume,\u201d she said, apologising to fans for keeping them waiting while they did not know what was happening on stage.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-primary font-tertiary-body-baseline-regular\" data-testid=\"article-paragraph-annotation-test-id\">She thanked them for their concern and assured them that she would stop her performance if she felt unwell.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-primary font-tertiary-body-baseline-regular\" data-testid=\"article-paragraph-annotation-test-id\">Chang rose to prominence after starring in Taiwanese idol dramas My MVP Valentine and\u00a0At The Dolphin Bay (2003). She\u00a0released her debut studio album Over The Rainbow in 2004.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-primary font-tertiary-body-baseline-regular\" data-testid=\"article-paragraph-annotation-test-id\">She was in 2008 diagnosed with\u00a0mitral\u00a0valve prolapse, a hereditary condition which generally carries a low risk of complications but could lead to cardiac arrest in rare severe cases. She went to Canada for medical treatment and took a break from her career for several months.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-primary font-tertiary-body-baseline-regular\" data-testid=\"article-paragraph-annotation-test-id\">Chang took to social media late on Aug 23 to further assure her fans that she was fine.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-primary font-tertiary-body-baseline-regular\" data-testid=\"article-paragraph-annotation-test-id\">\u201cI\u2019m sorry to have worried everyone,\u201d she wrote in Chinese. \u201cA medical team was present throughout my concert, just in case. This was to ensure my safety as well as that of all the audience members present.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-primary font-tertiary-body-baseline-regular\" data-testid=\"article-paragraph-annotation-test-id\">The singer said she was grateful to the medical team for monitoring her condition in real time and taking appropriate measures.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-primary font-tertiary-body-baseline-regular\" data-testid=\"article-paragraph-annotation-test-id\">\u201cI\u2019ve also undergone a more comprehensive check-up after the concert ended, and everything is fine at the moment,\u201d she wrote. \u201cThank you to everyone for your concern.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-primary font-tertiary-body-baseline-regular\" data-testid=\"article-paragraph-annotation-test-id\">Chang is scheduled to perform next in Guiyang in China\u2019s Guizhou province on Aug 29.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Taiwanese singer Angela Chang gave her fans a fright after she suffered a health scare during her concert&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":594439,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[146,85,46],"class_list":["post-594438","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-entertainment","tag-il","tag-israel"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/594438","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=594438"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/594438\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/594439"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=594438"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=594438"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=594438"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
