Singer Shae Gill has shared an update with fans after she was hit by a drone while performing live in Islamabad.

According to the details, the accident took place as a drone operating close to the stage struck Gill’s hand during her performance at the three-day Grand Carnival in the federal capital’s Park View City on Sunday.

“I was performing at Park View City Islamabad and they handed the controller of a drone to an amateur. That drone was superfast and it came straight at me. That’s how my hand got cut so bad,” Gill said on Instagram.

She assured fans that she was fine and had received medical care. “I’m okay now, though. Got my tetanus injection as well. Thank you for checking up on me.”

Park View City Islamabad had organised the Grand Carnival as a closed, family-only event spread over three days. Alongside Gill, the event featured live performances by Sahir Ali Bagga and Falak Shabbir.

Gill rose to national recognition after the release of ‘Pasoori’, which she recorded alongside Ali Sethi for Coke Studio in 2022.

The song became the most streamed Pakistani track in December 2022, reaching 201 million streams on Spotify.
