Lin also added that fans have come from all over the world to see him perform in more than 100 concerts: "I think my efforts, the hard work of the team, and everything we want to present have lived up to your expectation." His comments became a trending topic on Chinese social media – with many fans expressing concern about his health. Lin's dedication to his craft and fans is nothing new. In 2024, the Singaporean famously needed an IV drip and an oxygen mask to help him battle through a fever during a concert in Chengdu, China. But neglecting personal health for the sake of a career or work is not something reserved for celebrities. Many people around the world practice self-neglect on a regular basis. However, experts warn that work-related stress has been linked to a higher risk of developing atrial fibrillation (or A-fib), which is the most common form of an abnormal heart rhythm. Lin's agency, replying to media queries on his health, said: "He has been seeing a doctor regularly and will arrange for more time to rest after the tour. He will take good care of his health after completing the work on hand." So, we want to know: Have you neglected your health for work?
