The Greek music legend Marinella, 86 years old, sent a wave of horror through her fans on Wednesday night when she was forced to interrupt a live performance at the Herod Atticus Theatre in Athens due to a stroke. The legendary songstress lost her balance and fell onto the stage during her third song.
The concert, which was also to feature fellow Greek singer Antonis Remos, was immediately canceled as Marinella was taken directly to the hospital.
A statement from Hygeia Hospital on Thursday confirmed just how serious it was, “Marinella is currently being treated in the intensive care unit for severe brain bleeding.
