Singaporean singer JJ Lin dropped a bombshell during the final show of his ‘JJ20 Final Lap’ world tour, revealing to a stunned audience that he suffers from heart problems and now relies on daily medication.

On Sunday (13 July), during the final concert, he made the unexpected announcement.

“In April 2024, I was diagnosed with heart problems,” he told the crowd, prompting a collective gasp.

“I have to rely on daily medication to control it. The news truly left me stunned — I never thought something like this could happen to me.”

Vows to keep going despite diagnosis

With his voice heavy with emotion, Lin continued: “In that moment, I felt the hourglass of life speeding up. I asked myself, ‘How much longer can I keep singing?'”

The stadium fell into a stunned silence, the weight of his words settling over the audience.

But then Lin smiled and added: “Still, I told myself — even if my heartbeat goes out of rhythm, I’ll keep pushing forward.”

JJ Lin doubles over in pain mid-concert

The crowd responded with thunderous cheers and shouts of encouragement, especially when Lin declared that he would continue performing, vowing to hold 100 more shows of the ‘JJ20’ world tour.

He emphasised that everything he and his team had done was for the fans who had travelled from all over the world.

While he resumed the concert after his heartfelt speech, the performance took a dramatic turn.

Midway through the show, Lin suddenly doubled over in pain, clutching his shoulder and then his abdomen.

Netizens plead for him to get more rest

A fellow fan who also lives with heart issues tried to reassure others that such conditions are manageable with proper care.

Translation: If it can be controlled with medication, it’s not a big deal. I also rely on medicine, just that some can’t be stopped once you start. You need to take care of your heart by eating and sleeping well.Source: Weibo

Agency responds to health concerns

Earlier in July, one fan noticed Lin wearing a black bracelet during performances, something he had never worn before.

After the announcement, it became clear that it was likely a heart rate monitor.

In response to growing concern, Lin’s management issued a statement, saying: “Thank you everyone for your concern. JJ has been undergoing regular medical check-ups.”

“Now that the tour has concluded, he will be taking more time to rest and focus on his health after completing his remaining commitments.”
