Of course, onlookers online weren’t too concerned for the singer’s well-being.
“Talk about hot mikes,” one onlooker joked on X after watching the footage. “Shocking video,” a second X user quipped. “AC/DC,” yet another jokester chimed in.
However, at least one X user showed some heart, writing: “This is horrifying. A reminder of how important technical safety is on stage. Truly hope he makes it through this.”
Singer Gives Update After Nearly Getting Electrocuted on Stage
Suarez later updated fans via Instagram about his condition, saying he was doing alright. He added that he suffered severe burns on his neck, which required bandaging, after the microphone fell on him.
Suarez said the shock “paralyzed me for about seven seconds,” indicating the situation could have been much worse.
Meanwhile, the singer’s fans rallied behind him after his harrowing update after nearly getting electrocuted onstage.
“I don’t understand all those people who were making fun. Do they really see someone’s misfortune as funny? More human sense, please,” one top comment read.
Mi Mejor Amigo Scott was performing at a show organized by the group La Dosis, which reportedly covered Suarez’s treatment and medication after the incident. On Instagram, Suarez clarified that he does not hold La Dosis responsible, despite them organizing the event.
