Charlotte Perrelli was rushed to Danderyd hospital last Friday night with severe stomach pains and exhaustion. The doctors have strongly advised her against any public appearances but Charlotte will attempt to attend the Rhapsody in rock opening tomorrow anyway.
As Charlotte Perrelli admits in her blog she was already diagnosed with a mild case of meningitis- which can be a life threatening infection- back in June. She opted not to take a break from work and subsequently collapsed last Friday when she was taken to emergency in a very bad condition.
Stefan Jordansson, Charlotte's manager states, though, that everything is fine with her and that she is currently rehearsing to be able to perform in the Rhapsody in rock show on Saturday. Robert Wells, composer ofthe musical, told Aftonbladet: "It seems she will attend this Saturday. We smsed each other and she is on the recovery. The show must go on. But there is no chance that we will allow a colleague on stage if the person feels ill. I will prevent it. We are all worried about Charlotte. But I am no daddy. Charlotte is strong and professional in her job."
In the case Charlotte is in no condition to perform on Saturday, Jessica Anderson will stand in instead: "I don't want to call myself a backup, I would attend anyway. But if Charlotte is not ready, I will assume Hero will be absent", says the 2003 Swedish participant in the Eurovision Song Contest.
