Katseye's Megan Skiendiel Returned to the Stage in Austin, Performing Seated as She Recovers From a Concussion
The Grammy-nominated group resumed its Wildworld Tour in Austin on Tuesday after three postponements. Skiendiel performed on a modified schedule — and fans are divided about whether she should be back at all.
AUSTIN — Katseye resumed its Wildworld Tour in Austin on Tuesday night, Nov. 10, with singer Megan Skiendiel back on stage in a limited capacity as she continues to recover from a concussion, USA TODAY reported.
The dance-pop group had postponed three performances last week after Skiendiel, 20, suffered the head injury. In a Nov. 9 post on the group's Instagram stories, she told fans she was feeling much better but still actively recovering, and would perform on a modified schedule — reduced choreography, less intense movement and breaks as needed. 'I won't be going full out just yet,' she said, in the statement USA TODAY quoted.
The Austin performance drew a split reaction online, USA TODAY reported: clips of Skiendiel performing while seated in a chair prompted some fans to question the workload, while others praised her vocals from the chair and her bandmates — Daniela Avanzini, Lara Raj and Yoonchae Jeung — for keeping her part of the performance. The group, formed in 2023 on the reality competition series 'Dream Academy,' is touring as four at the moment; members Sophia Laforteza and Manon Bannerman have been on hiatus for several months for their health, USA TODAY reported.
The tour moves on quickly: Katseye's next concert is Wednesday, Nov. 11, at the American Airlines Center in Dallas. Whether Skiendiel's modified schedule continues there has not been announced in the coverage the desk read.
