Fans Urge Pop Star to Rest After She Performs While Recovering From Concussion

When nursing a concussion, avoiding natural and artificial light is an essential step in the recovery process. Those diagnosed with a concussion are also advised to rest for a few days, avoiding strenuous or physical activities, according to the Mayo Clinic.

Needless to say, dancing and singing center stage under bright arena lights is the last place you'd want to be with a concussion, but that's exactly where Katseye vocalist Megan Skiendiel found herself.

Megan Skiendiel, a member of the girl group Katseye, suffered a concussion in early November, prompting the group to postpone three of its WILDWORLD Tour shows.

Katseye returned to the stage in Austin on Nov. 10 at the Moody Center.

Early in the show, Skiendiel told the crowd that she was excited to resume the tour.

"I'm so excited to be back on the stage," Skiendiel told the crowd, per Complex. "Thank you guys so much for showing me so much support. I'm feeling so much better."

Despite her enthusiasm, fans implored the singer to take additional time off after

"This is really awful tbh, like this company is genuinely abusive af. Also, at this point, WHY even have her come? She needs to rest," a user

"My heart aches for her," an X user

"All those seizure lights won't be doing her any good," another added.

Another user replied: "I don't know... this is just sad. Why even let her perform when she is still recovering?"

Skiendiel informed fans via social media before the concert that she would perform a "modified schedule."

"I wanted to give you a little update and let you know that while I'm feeling so much better, I am still actively recovering from my concussion. So l'll need to take some precautions as I continue to heal," the singer wrote on her Instagram Story. "For the Austin show, I'll be performing on a modified schedule. This means reduced choreography, less intense movement, and taking breaks as needed. I won't be going full out just yet!"

Even with her warning, fans didn't expect to see her in such rough shape.

Hopefully the pop singer has a speedy recovery from her concussion symptoms.
