Z.Tao collapses at airport

Chinese singer-rapper Huang Zitao, better known as Z.Tao, rushed to the Beijing Capital International Airport to catch a flight last night (Dec 22), but fainted right after he went through the immigration gantry.

It was said that the singer appeared to be unwell upon reaching the airport, and was bearing with the discomfort while his staff held him as he walked, but he eventually collapsed in the presence of the media and fans.

Z.Tao put on a wheelchair right after and was sent to the hospital to be put on drip.

The 23 year-old was in Beijing, China to attend the press conference of his upcoming movie Railroad Tigers, which he starred in alongside Jackie Chan and Taiwanese actor Darren Wang, but left promptly after that to catch his flight.

According to Chinese media reports, the former EXO member probably fainted from fatigue as he was overworked from the filming of upcoming Chinese drama, Tan Pan Guan (loosely translated as The Negotiator), which he started on right after filming Railroad Tigers. He was also tired out as he insisted on performing most of his stunts in the movie without a stunt double.

Worried fans flurried their idol well after the incident and one wrote, “The New Year is approaching, please take care of your health”.
