On Sunday evening, Singaporean artist JJ Lin shared a significant personal update with his fans. During his concert at the Beijing National Stadium, the last stop of his JJ20 Final Lap world tour, he revealed that he has been diagnosed with a heart condition.
Lin disclosed that he learned of his diagnosis in April 2024 and has since had to take daily medication. “This news left me in shock. I never anticipated facing such an issue,” he expressed. He reflected on the fleeting nature of time, pondering, “How long can I sing? That question suddenly became a reality.”
Despite the diagnosis, he assured his audience, “Even if my heartbeat becomes irregular, I will continue to work hard.” His confession was met with supportive cheers from fans, many encouraging him to persevere. “I believe that with my efforts and my team’s dedication, we can make every moment here worthwhile,” he added.
He further remarked on the inevitable challenges that accompany success. “No matter how well we do, there will always be difficulties lurking in the background. I’m aware of them but choose to laugh and focus on my passion,” he stated. He emphasized that the stage is shared with his devoted fans, or JMs, saying, “Together we create a musical sanctuary.”
In a heartfelt conclusion, he expressed gratitude towards his fan club, Lin Ju Li, translating to “JJ’s Distance.” “We have shared joy and sorrow, evolving into better individuals together. You remain my closest musical family. I love you all.”
Lin also offered thanks to his supportive family, friends, and colleagues, recognizing their unwavering belief in him during challenging times. “I, Lin Jun Jie, will cherish this love forever,” he affirmed.
After announcing his health condition, some fans noted that Lin seemed to be in discomfort during the performance, often seen clutching his stomach. Additionally, he was spotted wearing a heart rate monitor on his wrist during earlier concerts for this tour.
