JJ Lin reveals heart condition at Beijing concert

15 Jul - JJ Lin recently decided to make a surprising confession about his health, telling fans that he has been diagnosed with a heart condition. Sharing about it at the Beijing leg of his Final Lap tour recently, the Singaporean singer revealed that he was told he has this heart condition in April last year and now has to rely on medication every day. "This news really shocked me. I never thought that this would happen to me. At that moment, I felt for the first time, how long I could sing? This question mark suddenly became so real." He continued, "I told myself that even if my heartbeat got out of rhythm, I would still keep trying." JJ also said that fans came from all over the world to see him perform in more than 100 concerts, and added, "I think my efforts, the hard work of the team, and everything we want to present have lived up to your expectation." Following his confession, many fans took to social media to discuss the revelation. Some noted that it was no wonder that JJ was wearing a health monitoring wristband during his concert.

Japan's former Emperor Akihito hospitalised to adjust his heart medication

TOKYO: Japan's 91-year-old former Emperor Akihito was hospitalised on Monday (Jul 14) to adjust his heart medication, palace officials said. Akihito was diagnosed in May with myocardial ischemia, an asymptomatic heart condition of reduced blood flow from the coronary arteries to the heart muscle. He has since been on medication to improve blood flow to his heart while avoiding excessive exercise and reducing liquid intake. Akihito abdicated in 2019, handing over the Chrysanthemum Throne to his son, current Emperor Naruhito and now holds the title of Emperor Emeritus. After two months on the medication, doctors found little improvement in Akihito's condition and decided to give him an additional treatment to alleviate the burden on his heart, the Imperial Household Agency said. Monday's hospitalisation was to carefully determine the right dose of the new medication to avoid side effects, while monitoring his heart by electrocardiogram and other examination, the IHA said. In 2012, Akihito underwent a coronary artery bypass surgery. Three years ago, he was diagnosed with right heart failure caused by tricuspid valve insufficiency. Akihito was seen in the back seat of a palace car, wearing a white surgical mask and accompanied by his wife, Empress Emerita Michiko, as he was taken to the hospital.
