On the 4th, Leehom Wang had an accident while holding a concert in Chengdu, China. During his performance of "Heavenly Dragon Scales," a staff member mishandled the steel wire, causing Wang’s foot to become entangled, resulting in a missed step and a heavy fall. His left cheek struck a metal stage step, shattering the cartilage of his left ear and splattering blood on his face. After being taken to the hospital, he received a total of 39 stitches. On the 5th, he still took to the stage as scheduled and personally updated fans about his injury.
Leehom explained that because he was wearing a hard in-ear monitor at the time, the impact instantly shattered his outer ear cartilage. However, since fans were still waiting below the stage, he only gave his wound simple first aid and relied on monitoring with one ear to finish the entire performance. He revealed that he received 39 stitches this time: “27 stitches to put the ear—since the cartilage was all shattered—back together.” The wound on his cheek required 12 stitches. Leehom candidly admitted that once the anesthesia wore off, he experienced “intense pain” upon getting out of bed, but seeing the packed venue full of fans seemed to lessen the pain. Sentimentally, he said: “Now, looking at all of you, it’s amazing—the pain is gone again. Your love is the best medicine.”
On the 5th, Zhou Shen appeared as a guest performer. The two shared the stage for the first time, singing "Need Someone By My Side" and "Little Happiness" together, their ethereal harmonies reaching deep into the heart. Not only did Zhou Shen send fruit gift boxes to the staff during rehearsal, but when they hugged on stage, he deliberately avoided Leehom’s left ear—packaging his gentleness in every detail. Afterward, Zhou Shen posted in tribute using the concert's title, confessing, wherever Leehom is, that is the best place.
Witnessing Leehom performing through pain and sticking out the entire concert, Zhou Shen also said: “Throughout the show, I could feel Leehom Ge’s love for everyone, constantly sending us strength! Using music to heal everyone! Looking forward to Ge’s speedy recovery!!! Wishing everything goes smoothly! Health and peace!!!” His words reveal deep admiration for his senior’s professionalism.
