Singer Maon Kurosaki Recuperating After Collapsing Due to Epidural Hematoma
posted on by Egan Loo
The official website for singer Maon Kurosaki announced on Sunday that she underwent emergency surgery for epidural hematoma (bleeding between the skull and the membrane surrounding the brain). As a result, she is going on hiatus while she recuperates.
Kurosaki had collapsed on Saturday in the middle of a live-streamed concert, which was soon suspended thereafter. She was then rushed to a hospital where she was diagnosed with epidural hematoma. The resulting surgery was successful, and she is now stable. However, as she will need at least two months to recuperate, she is going on hiatus.
As a result, she is canceling her appearances at the "Appearance Vol. 1 in Sapporo" event on September 25 at Hokkaido's Plant venue, as well as in the Aku no Musume stage musical on October 8-12 at Tokyo's Sōgetsu Hall.
Kurosaki rose to fame after performing in Tokyo's Akihabara Tokyo Ravens.
