Greek singer Marinella is in stable but critical condition after collapsing on stage during a concert at Athens’ Herod Atticus Theatre last night.
According to the Hygeia Hospital, the 86 year old suffered a stroke and is currently being treated in the intensive care unit for severe brain bleeding.
The incident occurred during her third song when the singer appeared to lose her balance and collapsed.
The concert, which was also set to feature Greek singer Antonis Remos, was immediately cancelled.
Marinella has been a prominent figure in Greek music for over six decades.
Born as Kyriaki Papadopoulou in Thessaloniki in 1938, she began her career in the mid-1950s, rising to fame with her dynamic stage presence and unique performance style.
