This is the shocking moment German pop star Helene Fischer cut her face open in a horrific on-stage trapeze accident – ironically while singing her song ‘Wounds’.
Helene Fischer was swinging above the audience during one of her acrobatic performances in Hannover last night when she suddenly dropped and hit her head against the trapeze.
Despite blood running down her face from the gushing wound on her nose, the singer, who earns more than Celine Dion, continued with her song ‘Wounds’ as if nothing had happened – but the incident ultimately forced her to end the concert early.
At the end of the song, the 38-year-old let herself fall into the arms of her crew, who brought her off stage while she reassured the worried audience: ‘I just need to clean this up first, my darlings. Everything is alright.’
But 15 minutes later, the concert was cancelled, with the organiser saying it was a ‘medical necessity’ – just an hour after the show started.
