Is Ethel Cain OK? Singer Breaks Silence After Collapsing On-Stage At Vivid Festival

On Saturday, June 3, alarm arose among spectators when renowned soloist Ethel Cain suddenly collapsed while performing at the Sydney Opera House Drama Theatre.

She had been singing her beloved song, "A House in Nebraska," when she lost consciousness.

Rushing to the stage, the members of her band quickly attended to their singer, who had collapsed. Assisting in getting the artist back on their feet, they then escorted them offstage.

Ethel Cain, the stage name of 24-year-old American singer-songwriter Hayden Silas Anhedonia, was raised in a religious background in the South.

According to Flood Magazine, her latest album, "Preacher's Daughter," examines topics including the failure of aspirations and a critique of the American Empire.

Witnesses in the front row during the Vivid Festival reported that when she collapsed, it seemed the singer had taken a hard blow to her head.

Hours after the collapse, there hadn't been any news available regarding whether she would be able to carry on with her concerts in Brisbane and Hobart as initially planned.
