Hospitalized!

The fabulous Regina Spektor was rushed to the emergency room on Wednesday.

Just hours before a show at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, the Fidelity singer collapsed.

The show had to be cancelled ten minutes after she was supposed to take to the stage.

No word on what was ailing our quirky Russian or if this will affect any other shows.

Get well soon, Regina!

Update: This just in!

"Regina Spektor is feeling much better after last night's hospitalization in Nashville, TN. To ensure full recovery, Regina will postpone tonight's show at The Tabernacle in Atlanta, GA to December 5th. All tickets will be honored or refunded. The rest of her North American tour will continue as planned beginning tomorrow, November 16th, in Norfolk, VA."

Just because she isn't some obese Yank with fried chicken grease dripping down her face does not mean she's anorexic or skinny.

Re: Molly –

This was just a report on her collapsing/being hospitalized. No one asked for your unimportant OPINION on her music. She has plenty of songs that obviously took thought and skill to create, and have meaning. There are people out there who do like her stuff. You don't? That's fine. I'm sure there's stuff you think is great that other people don't like. Just don't listen to it, and don't waste your time complaining about it.

Anyway, I heard it was an inner-ear problem or something, and she's fine.

Regina is a dear friend of mine and those of you saying it was because of drugs or anorexia are clearly a bunch of idiots who don't know what you're talking about. Regina collapsed because that girl works her ass off. I saw her two weeks ago and told her she looked like she needed a break from touring/recording/making appearances. If you've ever seen her, she's a gorgeous AND curvy. She doesn't so drugs. I spoke with her father this morning and he said she's doing well, and the constant travel, performing, writing new music, and working has taken a toll on her. So while you lazy ass bastards sitting at your computers are doing nothing with your lives, Regina is an amazingly talented girl literally working herself sick.

This is actually painful to read. I can't believe some people are so insensitive and stupid.

I love Regina. She has talent that most people on this page are lacking. I hope she gets better soon. She has creativity, soul, depth, and morals. Get better soon!!
Chiconinja says – reply to this

Noooooooooo!

Get better soon Regina!

We all need your music!

All those who claim she's anorexic are obviously a bunch of idiots.

Re: Nadya –

No one could have said it better, Nadya. Some people forget that people who are in the public eye are still people with feelings and emotions and thoughts.. I'm sure that this must have been a very scary experience for everyone.

I sincerely hope she's doing ok and takes a nice long vacation very soon! She totally deserves it. She's a beautiful and very talented person.

And for all of you all who don't know who she is and say "Who cares?"
Well, her family and friends and fans care… Do they not count?

I was looking forward to seeing her show in Richmond, VA, next week - but I hope she cancels it, and gets a much needed rest. Her schedule has been really aggressive for the past few months, and she's due for a break.

first off, this is a terrible picture of her.
and secondly– i don't know who they got their info from, but the shoe was supposed to start at 7:30 and they came on stage at 8:30 and told us what was going on.
Sydney says – reply to this

68

Ugh you're all fucktards. She OBVIOUSLY is not anorexic, if you've ever bothered to see any of her videos, or actually know who she is. I saw her a few nights ago in St Louis and by looking at her schedule she is literally crossing the country for gigs within days. She doesn't do any hard drugs, and she is skinny but nothing even close to what is considered holly wood skinny.
So shut the fuck up!

I just saw Regina on Sunday in Kansas City. I love her and she gave a great show, I'm so sad to hear that she is doing poorly. She does NOT look in the least anorexic, I was at the front at that concert and she looked great!!! Say what you want about the Britneys of the world, but Regina should not be lumped in with them. She has so much talent and she works so hard. I LOVE you Regina!!! Get well soon!

It's too bad most of your readers can't tell talent from their ass.
Dumbfucks.
Regina is outstanding. REAL MUSIC.
KK says – reply to this

74

Anorexia can kill and sometimes you cant tell if someone is anorexic because you think they arent skinny enough. If you dont EAT ENOUGH , you start to deteriorate. So stop saying she doesnt "look anorexic".
SB says – reply to this

75

Let me guess… did she "collapse" from "exhaustion"? Can I call in sick to work someday TOO and say that I've simply fallen to the floor because I'm too damn tired.

Chris says – reply to this

83

why do you people continually advocate music from so-called "artists" who are only doing it to make money to finance their substance abuse. that picture of her is not beautiful. it's ugly and it shows how her face and body is degenerated by the use of drugs! amy winehouse is a perfect example. what a waste of a natural talent!

She OD'd on cocaine… two friends of mine were supposed to attend the concert.

Another friend of mine has a friend who works backstage @ the Ryman, and he was there when she overdosed and collapsed.
