the news that "andy lau suddenly stepped on empty air and fell during his concert" became a hot topic on the 10th.

the incident started when andy lau was singing "it's not a sin for a man to cry" at a shenzhen concert on the evening of september 9. the underground passage door of the stage was accidentally opened. andy lau didn't notice it while walking and singing, and he stepped on the air and fell. fortunately, he didn't fall completely, but the audience said that andy lau had some minor scratches on his hands.

this is not the first time that the 63-year-old andy lau has been in danger at a concert this year. during the july concert in shanghai, andy lau almost fell off the stage when he slipped and knelt. afterwards, he apologized to his fans and promised not to do such high-risk actions again. before he finished speaking, during the september concert in beijing, andy lau almost missed a step on the lifting platform. now, he missed a step and fell again...

since his debut, andy lau has been known for his professionalism and is known as the "model worker" in the hong kong entertainment industry. he has never interrupted his concerts despite several dangerous situations, which shows his professionalism.

an occasional accident may be due to the singer not being careful enough or not cooperating well with the staff. however, repeated accidents make fans, while admiring andy lau's professionalism, also worry about his safety.

the safety of singers includes both safety during stage performances and the health of their physical and mental state.

the singers' health conditions have repeatedly been in danger, which is related to the lack of training during the epidemic and the difficulty of adapting to the body. it is also probably related to the "special forces-style" concerts. in the past, many star concerts were arranged in one or two cities (a few had more than three). since 2023, many have started with three or four concerts.

take andy lau's concert as an example. he started in shanghai on july 5 this year and held 36 shows until september 9 in two months. shanghai and hangzhou both held 6 shows in a row, and the city with the least shows had 4 shows. he got into trouble on stage several times. i wonder if it was related to the non-stop concerts and physical fatigue. as soon as the last show in shanghai ended on july 12, there was a video online showing andy lau's voice getting tired during the performance.

many singers have held concerts in succession, which has contributed greatly to boosting cultural tourism consumption in various places. according to statistics from tianjin culture and tourism, jay chou's concert in september 2023 drove comprehensive consumption of more than 3 billion yuan; and media reports said that andy lau's four concerts in chongqing in late august and early september this year drove comprehensive consumption of about 340 million yuan. we welcome more and more talented singers to hold concerts, and fans are looking forward to gathering with singers, but we also hope that they will pay attention to their own safety and health, arrange schedules and sessions reasonably, do what they can, and work hard for a long time.
