Liza Minnelli falls off stage after collapsing in Sweden

Dec 14, 2007

Liza Minelli collapsed onstage in Sweden last night (December 12) and was rushed to hospital where she stayed overnight.

The ‘Cabaret’ star was performing at the Scandinavium in Gothenburg and collapsed soon into her arena show.

Reports say that singer fell off the side of the stage but was caught by the show’s production manager, saving her from further injuries.

The show’s promoter Micheal Silfverskiold told Reuters that Minnelli was taken to a local hospital after the incident, and this morning returned to the US.

No reason for the collapse was given. Spokesperson Liz Rosenberg today confirmed she will receive further medical exams:

"A doctor upon examining her and in consultation with her NY physician determined that it would be necessary for the Oscar-winning actress and singer to immediately return to New York City to receive further medical examination" Rosenberg said in a statement.

Liza Minnelli to resume tour

Jan 3, 2008

Liza Minnelli is set to resume playing live after collapsing during a gig last month.

The singer, daughter of Judy Garland, is said to have fallen while walking off stage during a Swedish gig.

Howver, her spokesperson refused to say she fainted simply stating "She was that sick" before she returned to the US on December 13.

Now the singer is set to resume playing live, with dates beginning in America from January 12.

The star is due to perform several UK concerts in May.

There's this report from a Spanish news programme, but no footage of the collapse itself:

Damn. Where are people and they're camera phones when you really need them?

Maybe she was doing a rendition of Patti Smith's "Aint It Strange" and whirled off the stage!
