Already the start of the tour by hit star Helene Fischer had to be canceled – because of an injury. Now another moment of shock: the singer has to leave the stage in Hanover after an accident.

Moment of shock for Helene Fischer, her team and thousands of fans: the hit star injured himself on stage – so bad that the concert in Hanover on Sunday evening had to be canceled. Many concertgoers and fans were very worried after the 38-year-old left the stage bleeding. The singer has received medical treatment, said a spokeswoman for the organizer Live Nation. Then, on Monday morning, a cautious all-clear: Fischer is doing well given the circumstances. She was treated in the hospital and left it afterwards.

But exactly what kind of injury the 38-year-old sustained was not publicly known on Monday either. Several media reported that Fischer injured his nose during an exercise on the trapeze. The performance was initially interrupted and then canceled. The 38-year-old is known for her acrobatics on and above the stage – including on the trapeze.

Accident during trapeze exercise

Videos and pictures that concertgoers shared on the Internet show how Fischer apparently collides with her partner during a trapeze exercise or hits the trapeze, and a dull thump can be heard over the microphone. Nevertheless, she can hold on as planned, still hanging in the air and obviously bleeding, Fischer continues to sing. A little later she is said to have left the stage.

According to Live Nation, the singer broke a rib during acrobatic rehearsals in March. After that, several performances had to be postponed. Fischer therefore apologized to his fans: “I hope you know how sorry I am.” Sometimes “higher powers are at work”.

Fischer was last on tour in 2018. After a baby break, she returned to the stage in 2022 and gave her biggest concert to date in Munich in front of around 130,000 fans. Since spring she has been back on the stages of her tour in Germany.

Acrobatic numbers developed with experts

According to Live Nation, the concert on Sunday evening in Hanover was the 42nd of the current tour. The show in the ZAG Arena was planned as the final concert of the first part of the tour. It was also the 5th in the Lower Saxony state capital. The tour is now scheduled to pause until the end of August, when Fischer is supposed to perform in Cologne.

Fischer had developed and practiced acrobatics with experts from Cirque du Soleil for the tour to her album “Rausch”. According to the website, up to 14,000 people fit into the ZAG Arena in Hanover.

Numerous spectators expressed their concern on Sunday evening after the concert – the singer had performed on stage for about an hour before the accident. Many wished fishermen a speedy recovery. The statement by the concert organizer on Monday morning should have had a reassuring effect: There is “no doubt” that the artist will continue her tour after the summer break from August 25 as planned.
