KATSEYE fans are unhappy with band member Megan Skiendiel's on-stage presence at the band's show in Austin, Texas, on Tuesday, November 10, after the singer reportedly suffered a concussion during the tour. The emergency initially prompted the cancellation of the band's November 5 show in Chicago and their upcoming November 7 performance in Minneapolis, a few days after canceling their November 3 Detroit concert.
Before the show, Megan, 20, took to Instagram to provide an update about her health, assuring fans that she was "feeling so much better." "I am still actively recovering from my concussion, so I’ll need to take some precautions as I continue to heal,” she added.
The singer went on to share that she would be performing on a “modified schedule,” that entailed less “intense movement” and “reduced choreography" for the band's show in Austin, but KATSEYE fans are now reportedly unhappy with her presence on stage in Austin as they reflected on the pressures of show business.

“I won’t be going full out just yet!” she said in the statement before the show, adding that she would have to be reassessed before she can return to “unrestricted performances.”
“That said, I’m so excited to be back on stage with the girls and see all of you in Austin! I’m incredibly grateful for the opportunity to be there, even if I have to do things a little differently this time,” she said at the time.
Subsequently, the Austin show saw Megan singing into her mic while seated on stage wearing sunglasses as all the other band members danced and put on a show around her.

Fans were underwhelmed with the experience, and even slammed the decision to bring Megan on stage despite her concussion. One user responded, writing, "This is a terrible environment for someone with a concussion. This is inhumane."
Another person added, "She has a concussion, so let's put her on stage with flashing bright lights and loud music blaring."
And a third person chimed in, "Are they serious??? Why is she not FULLY recovered? This actually scares me…"
Meanwhile, two of KATSEYE's other members are also on hiatus. Manon Bannerman and Sophia Laforteza both previously shared that they were stepping down to take care of their mental health.

Sophia is reportedly set to rejoin the group in January 2027, which has thrilled her fellow band members.
"We are so happy that she's coming back," Lara Raj told E! News in October. "We're so proud of her. She's really been so brave."
"We respect her so much for taking the space and taking time for her health," she continued. "She's our sister, so we can't wait for her to come back."
This past August, KATSEYE also had to pull out of Olivia Rodrigo‘s Daisy Chain Fields festival due to Megan's ankle injury.
