KATSEYE Singer Performs Seated in Austin While Recovering From Concussion

Doctors have limited her movement as the group presses on with its arena tour and several postponed dates still await rescheduling.

Overview

  • Megan Skiendiel returned to the stage seated at the Moody Center in Austin on Tuesday, singing from a chair while three bandmates performed the choreography.
  • She disclosed the concussion on Nov. 5 and told fans on Weverse that doctors advised reduced choreography, shorter sets and a medical reassessment before she can perform without limits.
  • KATSEYE canceled or postponed shows in Detroit, Chicago and Minneapolis because of Megan’s recovery, and promoters have said rescheduled dates and refund details will be announced later.
  • The group is already performing short two members after Manon Bannerman began a hiatus in February and Sophia Laforteza took a health-focused leave that is expected to last until January 2027, which has increased logistical strain on the tour.
  • Fans posted strong online objections to the decision to stage a loud, high-energy concert while Megan recovers, raising reputational risks for HYBE x Geffen and heightening pressure on the band and promoters to clarify medical and ticketing plans.
