Megan Thee Stallion rushed to hospital mid-performance after falling ‘very ill’ while starring in Moulin Rouge
MEGAN Thee Stallion has been rushed to hospital after suddenly falling “very ill” during a performance of Moulin Rouge on Broadway.
The 31-year-old rap star managed to get through the opening scenes of the hit musical in New York before the show had to be halted so she could get treatment.
Megan, who plays Zidler in the beloved Broadway production, was quickly taken to hospital and is still undergoing an evaluation, it is believed.
A representative of the Savage rapper told TMZ: “During Tuesday night’s production, Megan started feeling very ill and was promptly transported to a local hospital, where her symptoms are currently being evaluated.”
There is yet to be any further update on her condition.
Megan’s personal hairstylist and close friend Kellon Deryck has come out since to ask fans to say “a prayer” for the rapper.
Megan is due to appear in Moulin Rouge! The Musical until May 17 at the Al Hirschfeld Theatre.
Her casting as Zidler marks a history making moment for the star as she becomes the first female-identifying performer to play the role in any production of Moulin Rouge worldwide.
Concerned audience members said they were told to “stay inside and seated” while medics assessed Megan off stage.
After she left the theatre, the show continued as a male performer took on the role of Zidler.
