André Rieu heart attack: What illness does André Rieu have?
André Rieu faced a debilitating health crisis that threatened to end his career in 2010. At the age of 62, he was struck by a viral infection in his inner ear, which left him struggling to maintain his balance and feeling constantly dizzy and nauseous.
Rieu was forced to cancel several concerts and was unsure if he would ever be able to return to the stage. He was eventually able to overcome this setback. He underwent a series of treatments to manage the symptoms of his condition and slowly but surely began to regain his strength and balance. He remained focused on his love of music and his desire to perform for his fans.
A concert by Andre Rieu at Nottingham’s Motorpoint Arena on December 17, 2016, was postponed due to a member of the orchestra suffering a heart attack. The musician has been taken to hospital but his condition remains critical.
A statement from Andre Rieu Productions says; “It is with great regret that André Rieu has to postpone tonight’s Nottingham concert due to a member of the Johann Strauss Orchestra having a heart attack this morning.
“We are deeply saddened and thank you for your understanding in this difficult moment. Our heartfelt feelings are with their colleague and his family.”
