Andy Lau Had a Freak Accident During a Concert in Shenzhen, Injuring His Thumb

On 9 September 2024, during a concert in Shenzhen, China, as part of his “Today… Is The Day” tour, Hong Kong superstar Andy Lau had a freak accident on stage that left him with an injured thumb.

If you watch the video, you’d go, “Thankfully it’s just the thumb.”

Andy Lau Had a Freak Accident During a Concert in Shenzhen, Injuring His Thumb

While performing his song “Nan Ren Ku Ba Bu Shi Zui” and interacting with the audience, the 62-year-old singer was walking along the edge of the stage.

As he made his way to the center, he failed to notice an open trapdoor and accidentally stepped into the gap with his right foot.

This caused Lau to trip and fall, hitting his chest on the ground. The audience screamed in shock as they witnessed the incident.

But despite being visibly surprised, Lau quickly regained his composure, almost as if it was part of the concert.

He smiled at the audience while lying on the stage for a moment before coming up to a kneeling position, laughing off the incident.

He assured the crowd that he was okay but needed a minute to bandage his hand.

It was later revealed that Lau had injured his left thumb during the fall. He was seen holding a white towel on his left hand as he continued singing.

After getting first aid, he returned to the stage with his left thumb bandaged and resumed his performance, as if the entire incident hasn’t occurred.

It was revealed that a musician was preparing to rise to the stage from the trapdoor when the accident occurred. Some fans pointed out that the trapdoor was originally closed but opened without warning.

Now, if this feels like déjà vu, it’s because this isn’t Lau’s first freak accident on stage.

Eerily Similar Incident Occurred Two Months Ago

In early July 2024, during a concert in Shanghai, an almost similar incident occurred.

While performing his 2002 hit song “Practice”, the 62-year-old singer slid on his knees towards the edge of an unbarricaded platform approximately 4 metres above the ground.

Videos of the incident showed Lau teetering precariously on the edge before managing to stop himself just in time.

Following this, adjustments were made to ensure Lau’s safety. The height of the platform was lowered, and instead of running and sliding on his knees, Lau simply knelt down a safe distance from the edge of the stage for subsequent performances.
