After more than a year, legendary Bangladeshi singer Sabina Yasmin made her much-awaited return to the stage, only to fall ill unexpectedly during her performance.
On Friday evening, while performing at a hotel in Dhaka, she suddenly became unwell and was promptly rushed to a nearby private hospital. Following initial treatment, her condition has stabilized, as confirmed by her relative, Jahangir Sayeed.
Around 12:15 am on Saturday, Jahangir answered a call to Sabina’s phone and told bdnews24.com: “She has been brought home and is now sleeping. Her condition is better.”
Sabina Yasmin had been away from the stage for over a year, spending a long time abroad for medical treatment as her cancer had relapsed. After undergoing treatment and radiotherapy, she recovered and resumed singing.
On Friday evening, she was performing at the event "Our Sabina Yasmin: I Am Here to Stay” at a hotel in Banani when she suddenly collapsed on stage. She sang continuously for about 12 songs before suddenly collapsing. She was then taken to the hospital.
Sabina was also scheduled to perform on the same stage on Saturday, but the event has been cancelled, confirmed Dithi. She was first diagnosed with cancer in 2007 but recovered after treatment and returned to a normal life and her music career.
Over the years, she performed not only in Bangladesh but also in the United States, Australia, and several other countries. In February last year, news of her cancer relapse surfaced, making headlines both in Bangladesh and Indian media.
Later, in a message to the public, Sabina revealed that she was undergoing treatment in Singapore. She mentioned that on Feb 7 last year, she had minor surgery on her tooth, followed by multiple rounds of radiotherapy for a full recovery. Recently, she returned to Dhaka. On Jan 4, when the body of Dhaka film actress Anjana Rahman was brought to the Channel i premises, Sabina was present.
There, she reminisced about her childhood friend Anjana, sharing old memories with journalists.
