On the next night of his concert, a reggaeton singer named Reykon, whose real name is Andrés Robledo, had a terrifying and unexpected moment on stage. As he was entertaining the crowd in Neiva, Columbia, a flame machine accidentally set his hair on fire. The whole incident was caught on camera and has since been circulating on social media.
In the video, you can see Reykon brushing something off his arm when suddenly, his hair catches fire. Without hesitation, he continues with his performance like a true professional. As he leaves the stage, he is quickly examined by medical professionals to ensure his safety. In another clip, you can see a paramedic checking him out, but surprisingly, his hair doesn't seem to be damaged at all.
Although Reykon has yet to publicly address the incident, he has been active on social media since then. This isn't the first time a musician has been caught on fire during a performance. In 1992, Metallica's James Hetfield nearly lost his life when he accidentally stepped into a huge flame during a concert in Montreal. Fortunately, he was able to finish the show despite his injuries.
In an interview with VH-1's Behind The Music, Hetfield described the terrifying experience, saying, "I'm a little confused on where I'm supposed to be, and then the pyro guy doesn't see me, and 'whoosh!', a big colored flame goes right up under me." He suffered second-degree burns on his hand and arms, and his hair and skin were severely damaged.
His bandmate Jason Newsted also recalled the incident, saying, "If he had been breathing in, he would have been dead." The rocker's injuries were so severe that he was in shock and in excruciating pain. He even described it as the worst pain he has ever felt.
Despite the horrifying experience, both Reykon and Hetfield showed immense professionalism and were able to finish their performances.
