Chris Brown struck down in Australia
By CMU Editorial | Published on Wednesday 4 May 2011
Chris Brown has been diagnosed with a “severe viral illness” while on tour in Australia, meaning he was forced to cancel his show in Perth last night. Having already battled his way through a gig in Brisbane on Friday, the singer had vowed to carry on with the tour as planned, but has been ordered by doctors to sit down and not do any of that performing stuff.
His doctor, Bill Anseline, told reporters: “Chris has a severe viral illness. The virus has developed into a nasty chest infection and he needs rest. He is not fit to perform on stage nor is he fit to travel. He was devastated and wanted to push and go for it, but for Chris’ health and wellbeing I recommended that he didn’t take any risks to avoid ongoing complications”.
