The artist Rabeh Saqer sent a message of reassurance to his audience after his sudden withdrawal from his concert as part of the Electronic Sports World Cup events in Riyadh, due to a health issue that struck him while performing on the Abu Bakr Salem stage.

During the concert, Saqer suddenly stopped singing, placing his hand on his chest, before announcing in an affected voice: "I can't continue, I'm tired, forgive me," and then hurried off the stage amidst the astonishment of the audience.

Clips of the moment he apologized spread on social media, during which he received waves of support and wishes for recovery from his fans.

In a later video statement, the artist confirmed that his condition had improved, saying: "I assure you, I am fine, and I am happy with you.
