After debuting in 2001, Mandopop trio S.H.E has been a familiar face
in the entertainment industry, with the members branching out into
acting and hosting, on top of their singing careers. This year has been
especially busy for Ella in particular, given her sudden surge in
popularity in China of late.
However,
the increased workload proved to be too much for the 34-year-old, who
had fallen ill recently. On Saturday, Ella’s husband, businessman Alvin
Lai, uploaded a series of pictures, which showed a solemn Ella receiving
an injection at what appeared to be a hospital, and subsequently
resting her head on Alvin’s thigh.
“[I] really can’t take it. The
giant has fallen! [You’re] busy with work, but take good care of your
body! Don’t stay up late, don’t eat fried food, rest more! Please be
good,” he wrote in his caption, revealing his wish for Ella to recover
soon. Fans also started leaving comments on his post, urging Ella to
rest well.
S.H.E’s management company later released a statement,
explaining that the singer-actress had been feeling under the weather
for a couple of days already. However, as she didn’t want to be a
no-show at the Spring Wave – Music and Art Festival held on Thursday
(June 9), Ella powered through the performance, and finally went to the
doctors on Saturday, where it was found that her throat and nasal
airways were inflamed.
