Concert in Plauen - She's not yet at 100 percent: Lena celebrates comeback with pulled handbrake
Does she come or doesn't she? This was the most pressing question for fans of Lena Meyer-Landrut on Friday. After the singer had to cancel two concerts due to illness at the end of June, there was great anticipation as to whether the 33-year-old would appear in the Saxon town.
The good news: She did. According to an RTL report, Lena entered the Park Theater in Plauen on Friday evening with a delay of nearly 60 minutes. And she got straight to work musically. As TikTok videos show, the mood was good as Lena gave her ESC winning song "Satellite" her best.
In between, the singer let it be known that this evening was particularly special for her. "I have to say, I was very excited before today," she was quoted as saying by RTL. It hurt her in her soul "to leave the people who had come."
Lena Meyer-Landrut is still not fully recovered
Fortunately, that didn't happen in the Saxon town. Meyer-Landrut let it be known, however, that she was still far from being fully recovered. "I would say I'm at about 70%," she said according to RTL. During the concert, the ESC winner of 2010 reportedly drank tea and coughed frequently.
Her concert at the "Tollwood" Summer Festival in Munich's Olympiapark on June 29 was cancelled "shortly, due to sudden health reasons." "I wasn't feeling well during the day and then in the evening I had cramp-like abdominal and kidney pain," the singer reported on Instagram. She had to be taken to the hospital just before the show started. She also had to cancel her performance the following day in Baden-Württemberg's Wangen. She had to go to the hospital again "with strong pains."
The worst is apparently over – she showed this with her appearance in Plauen. At the same time, Lena made it clear with her statements: She is still a long way from her old strength.
