Japan Music News: 75 fans fall ill at Johnny's group NEWS's concert

On July 27th, the Japanese boy idol group of the Johnny's talent agency "NEWS" held an outdoor concert at the Chichibunomiya Rugby Stadium, with approximately 35 thousand fans attending.

The band that used to have Tomohisa Yamashita and Ryo Nishikido...

Unfortunately, due to heavy rain and thunderstorms, the concert was cut short after 1 hour and 45 minutes. On top of the cancellation, several fans called for paramedics seeking attention to their health. Nearly 45 paramedics arrived on the scene with 75 fans being treated for illness and 7 fans having respiratory troubles.


It is believed that the cause had been the sudden drop in temperature due to the heavy rain. (Not from the being starstruck by the handsome boys)

A replacement concert was held on the 28th where the members took great consideration of the fans, wishing them to stay warm and comfortable and apologizing for the inconvenience (on behalf of mother nature I guess).
